    A slightly different GI .45!!!

    I have always wanted one of these Colt DA Model 1917s. They are a handful of pistola!!! I have owned a 1917 S&W, but not a Colt...

    The serial number is 106002, which should put about 1917....

    When this one came by, I had to have it....

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I think you need a set of smooth walnut stocks for that, don't you? Nice old gun though.

    Very nice, John. Always had a hankering for one of those, too. The Smith is nice, but that New Service/Colt 1917 is just a massive pistola!

    I really like my 1917 S&W but I think the Colt is made better,(just my opinion).

    They can shoot real good too. Here's what I did with mine. Of course this doesn't happen every time. It's funny, I have 3 Colt 1917's and the worst(still good shape) shoots better than the other two that are really nice.
