CMP’s .45 sale?

[Benchloader]

Curious what barrel came with yours and is the recoil spring length correct. The mag with mine is a Made in Italy MecGar; barrel 7791193, no year that I can find on it. There are post(s) on the CMP Forum about short recoil springs; my spring was short too. Awesome fun to shoot.

Curious what barrel came with yours and is the recoil spring length correct.

barrel has "85" stamped under its serial. I suppose that means 1985. serial on the frame showed up as colt in 1944 in the tables I found. I'll measure the recoil spring tomorrow and take pictures.

went to take the grips off to get rid of the rack number and found one of the screws loose in it's hole. got it out by pressing up on the grip from inside while backing the screw out. the bushing is almost all stripped out and will need replaced. The trigger seems weird to me too. There is so much slack it almost feels like 2 stages, and then it doesn't break until it is pressed almost all the way in to the frame.

I think mine is too...stamped MG something.
