I recently "found" a 1911 in the back of a safe while I was looking for something else. My notes indicate I acquired it around 1/95; don't remember where. The barrel had been replaced with a Remington 7-44 2-groove A3 and chambered for .308. The rear sight looks like an M1icon carbine flip-up and is dove tailed into the rear of the receiver. The stock had been shortened in the usual way to make a hunting rifle. In the 50's and 60's there was a lot of activity in the military surplus market, attempting to create and sell cheap hunting rifles made from assorted parts. I seem to remember seeing ads for this combination probably in the American Rifleman. Anyone else recall this?

Incidentaly, the serial #250339 is on the magazine and the rifle and bolt has #320545. You guys can probably date them for me.
