I'd be up for that...let me know the best way and when to get together.My 1912 Model 8 has original bluing on it if you want to compare.
I believe they changed it by 1947, when my Model 81 was made
No harm, no foul here.Yeah don't take it as me knocking it. It's a clean one for sure. I love these rifles,they point like a shotgun. Don't forget to pull the plug screw an add a little oil to the buffer springs.
Those mag conversions require Alot of fitting. I'd find a spare lower to practice on. 38 super Is the perfect 1911. Don't care what the 45 fudds say. 10mm is next but isn't classic or classy.No harm, no foul here.
Although I would have liked it to be all original, like I said above...not into safe queens, won't own a gun I can't shoot.
I love nostalgic firearms. The last year of my LE career I borrowed a Colt 1911 chambered in Super 38 and carried it...that pistol was from 1934...ironic eh?
I would love to find a 15 round conversion magazine for this...I can see this unit then going on security duty for the place...I guess I refuse to grow out of the era I started LE work...with a 38 revolver.
Cheers...
.38 Super is fine if you get one of the newer barrels that headspaces on the case mouth and has the reduced rim-size.. I like it better than the bottlenecked .357 SIG which has lost it's first flush of popularity.. The old .38super was frustrating and about burnt me out of the cartridge- got fed up with it in the 70's and didnt look back... but thanks to it's popularity in high power pistol shooting, it was improved and for the waaay better.Those mag conversions require Alot of fitting.

Post a picI have a remibgto. 22 mfg 1911 can't tell diff between it and browning sa 22 I don't find one like it anywhere
OK I will later today not around it at the mo.entPost a pic
There is certainly a unique sound and the recoil has a shuffle to it.I warn people before they shoot it that, "It'll sound like a screen door slammed in your face."
You have one?There is certainly a unique sound and the recoil has a shuffle to it.
I've never shot anything else like it.
The Remington Model 24 is a Browning design (same design as the later produced Browning SA). Just like a Remington Model 11 Shotgun is the "first" Browning Auto-5.I have a remibgto. 22 mfg 1911 can't tell diff between it and browning sa 22 I don't find one like it anywhere
in the 1980's when I got my first .35 Rem., the cartridge was still fairly common. When I started reloading for it, stuff was fairly easy to get. .32 Rem. was a hard one to get but I could still buy .30 Rem. in RP factory ammo at a local hardware store. But this is how time will bite you in the butt. Now, .35 Rem. anything has become scarce.I found a bit of 35 loaded ammo and components...brass and bullets.
Most of the ammo was priced 80-85.00 a box...ugh! But found one for half that
I was suspect on the fired brass, so looked each one over...then found some old boxes of unopened .358" bullets...both 200 and 180gr.
It was a smaller show, about 70 tables...but mostly older stuff
