I "accidently" had an M2 for a little while. It came in my pawnshop minus the heat shield and no magazine. I knew I could replace them so gave a low-ball offer and the seller (a known druggie) accepted. Went to enter it in the FFL log book and, OH! SH**! Its an M2 not the regular M!.
Called the ATF and surrendered it. Too much risk to my FFL to try and keep it.
Dang ole ATF....
Those jokers don't have a sense of humor.....
The ATF agent that came to the shop was actually very pleasant, not one of the "suits" He was originally local, knew some history of the sellers family and had been a police officer in my hometown.

I was really tempted to take it out and shoot it once. I happened to have a correct magazine and about 20 rounds of 30cal ammo.
Probably would have scared the crap out of me!
Keeping it was not an option, family of the seller had too much contact with law enforcement and not in a good way. Info has a way of being passed around if it keeps one out of further trouble.

The BAR was a hoss! Accurate and effective on the bi-pod, hard to handle on the sling. WOW! 54 years ago!! J.O'.
You had a front porch on your hooch?????
Talk about livin' large!!
We fam-fired the BAR on the bi-pod after boot camp at ITR. What an accurate old beast! So sweet.

Try and find a box of .410 shotgun shells.

It struck me that I haven’t fired my M1911 in a number of years (six, seven, ??) so I pulled it out of the safe and lubed it. Going to take it out one day this coming week and do some target practice. I was actually pretty decent with these at one time. OH

Cheaper than dirt should be renamed pricer than hell!
Great looking 1911, O.H.! .45 ammo is hard to find and pricey too, so if you go to a range take your own ammo.

Thanks Colonel Wade!
Jerry, Nice! I just noticed that the engraving on your Series 70 is larger than that on my slide. My Colt was made ca. 1979-'81 per my records, do you know when yours was made? Never noticed that before on a Series 70. OH

Haven't had mine out for awhile! With the price and scarcity of .45 ammo I'll just keep it for home defense with my Sig Sauer premium hollow points. BTW Jerry, sweet looking 1911! ftd

I'm sorry Colonel, I don't know. I don't even remember when (draw a BIG circle around 1970) or where I got it.
Thanks Ferg.

Ah yes, the 1911. Magazine capacity possibly excepted, they are superior in every way to the 92Fs that replaced them. Two very nice examples, Jerry and OH!

Thank you Dan.
Thank you Jerry, at the very least we know your Colt is a little older than mine, so I would infer that the smaller engraving came later. OH

It’s not a Colt, but this Ruger Commander size 1911 rode iwb under my suit jacket to church this morning (every Sunday). It pairs well with a CASE XX era 6375.
