I like those grips a lot.
Thanks, Brigid!
A few years ago I purchased a 1911A1, Colt parts are interchangable and shoots very nice, that the serial numbers were all properly placed on the frame, slide and barrel for a sistema Model 1927 .45 manufactured in 1958. The pistol appears to have been arsenal refinished but the slide and frame markings are missing. The only marking, other that the serial numbers, is the importer stamp on the slide. The importer was VAM Distribution, Wooster, OH - is this a sistema and why no slide markings?
Wow, that one is a mystery. I did some web searches and came up with nothing ...
Sorry,
Zack
Very nice Argentinian .45ACP pistol ! ! ! ! ! !
Thank you very much!
where did you buy your recoil spring?
I usually use Wilson Combat for springs, etc.
What symptom was your gun having that required replacing the recoil spring. Mine will not chamber a shell. Even ball.
I replaced it as a matter of hygiene; I had no idea how much use the original spring had on it.
I am by no measure an expert, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. The magazine MAY be causing your feed problems. With old 1911 style guns like this, I have the best luck with quality 7-round magazines (the 8-round mags changed the feed angle in order to gain the extra capacity). Mec-Gar (Italy) and Wilson Combat (USA) make very good mags.
Thanks for the visit!
