It's a nice little pistol. Too bad they're prohibited here :(

The frame is a Colt, 1944 production, the slide (I'm assuming the number is under the firing pin stop) is a Colt 1941 production. Inspector stamp is for Col. Robert Sears.

I've never seen an...

Montana in the west and Vermont in the east . . .

I'm a relative newcomer to researching such things but what is SRS?

Hmmm. I wonder if I dropped a not to the SPringfield Armory museum if they might have any old issuance records.

I can apaprently eb done because I've seen people post the info on the web for...

Thanks very much! I had the year narrowed down but that was it.

Are there any sites where one can look these things up? Such as who it was originally issued to and when and where?

I realize...

I don't suppose you'd have the shipping info on a Colt Sn 736326 ? :)

Very well done indeed. How does one get the shipping and isssuance information?

Very nice! How does one get the small certificate with all the information about the 1911?

Hmm, I just found out you can't export former US military firearms back into the US. Bummer!

Additional pics with proper grips installed.

M1911A1 Pics link

Sorry if this has been posted before but I just ran across an interesting site with a nice idea for recycling an M1 carbine in less than great condition - and making it unrestricted for those of us...

Just an added FYI - the three magazines referenced above are no longer 15 round but are now in compliance with the Firearms Act.

Pics in the link at the bottom of the post.

Yup, spam filters checked - no sign of it. I've had that happen occasionally with other forums as well. Not often just once in a while.

Thanks for the suggestion on milsurps. To be honest I've...

I inherited my father's Colt M1911A1 Ser#736xxx (last year in the patent list is 1913) which makes it 1941 manufacture.

As near as I can tell it is complete, all original matching parts with the...

I tried registering there but never receive a registration code to finish the process - even had it resent and it enver arrived. :(

Does anyone know a forum or website dedicated to the sale of firearms in Canada? I have a very nice correct Inland M1 Carbine I would like to sell and this area is a bit sparse of interested parties....

I added a couple to end of the previous picture set.

M3 tool and kit

Ah ok, thanks muchly. I suspected it was some kind of M1 tool but it didn't match any photos I found on-line. The endless varieties of military paraphenalia :)

I came across the following in a box with some cleaning supplies but have no idea what it is other than some form of field tool. I suspect possible for an M1 Carbine but my online search has only led...

As near as I can tell it is all original as far as I've taken it apart. I've not dismantled the bolt assembly nor the main trigger assembly - not feeling that adventurous yet :).

The front sight...

I've been doing research recently myself. As far as I can discover all M1 carbines were manufactured with serial numbers. I can't see any country removing the numbers as they provide too good an...

Someone just mentioned on another forum it would be illegal for a buye in the US to import this (I'm in Canada). Are they not legal in the US in some way (Seems a lot of them around for that to be...

Thanks for the reply. On closer examination you are correct, they are 'I' not '1' on the magazines.

The bolt top is indeed flat, the sights are flip and the safety is a push-button.

I have...
