The only "catch" I can think of if it was produced for Mil/LEO use and the 11%(?) FET wasn't paid. A local shop has some stuff in a display case marked "Military/LEO only" and when I asked why, that's what I was told. That could be? Colt started rollmarking them this way shortly...

OD*

Which puts the Colt 6920 model as Military or LEO, and not for civilians w/o calss III, right? Or would this fall under a state law regulation with the 6920? On topic: Hobie, I would build one. One can be built a lot cheaper than one can be bought. No Sir, anybody can own a LE6920, no federal tax s...

What is the significance of the "Milspec Dia. FCG Pins"? awp101, pretty well covered it. That and the are two Colt companies producing AR15s, Colt Defense LLC and Colt's Manufacturing LLC., the guns aren't the same. Dan, Can you tell us more about that? Which company got the big contract?...

A few months back Winchester published an article on there site that said the 94 could come back but it would not be made by them and they suggested that a foreigner company may do it in the future. As for the parts being made in South Carolina that's good news! Could be. The Winchester (and Browni...

Nice collection.

I didn't read the article Joe, but that paragraph you quoted tells me not to waste my time.

Thanks Joe.

OD - According the this article the rebounding hammer was added at the same time as the cross-bolt safety and as a result of it for engineering reasons (the key comment is in the 6th paragraph from the end). If true, that would imply the NO 94 made in 1981 has the rebounding hammer. Whaddya think? ...

OD*

You're welcome Sir.

OD*

Would a 1981 model have been built with the CB safety? No Sir, the CBS was intro'd as Joe stated. The angle eject and reintroduction of the forged receivers started in late '83. The rebounding hammer was introduced in 1981. Did ALL calendar-year 1981 rifles have the rebounding hammer or was the &qu...

I must have something wrong. Are you talking about McQueens lever? I remember him stating it was a .45-60 with a "rainbow" trajectory, which was his sarcasm regarding not being the guy who shot the kid. That I remember, they said it was a really long shot. Oh Well........... I also seem t...

Spiritmaker,

Of all the 74's I've seen, the opening in the stock have been about the same as the one in the picture. Not saying yours couldn't be original, just that I'm not familiar with them.

Pete, did you install the flat MSH?

Glad to hear it Ranch. Have you posted any pictures of the '75? Things have been pretty good here, busy but good.

Let me make clear that I do NOT care for the Officer's 3" Slide - just the shorter grip frame. (I also hate bushingless 1911s - and the 3" has no bushing) After owning/carrying a 5" GI model for a god bit, I found that the LW Officer's grip frame - once full of ammo - mated to the SS...

Of course in the world of the M1911, most anything is possible.

Officers ACP models have 3.5" barrels, Defenders have 3".
