Hi guys,
I picked up a pretty neat 1911 pattern .45 yesterday. I'm cetain it's a parts gun as there are no markings on the slide. The frame is an Essex SS (#621xx) and the slde is traditionally blued with no outside markings. It does have a flat top rib though and I'm not familiar with who makes these.
The barrel is a bull with a compensator. It's very nice although the slide to frame fit is more GI than target (read rather loose). Functions well and seems to be accurate during a little back yard plinking (can you "plink" with a .45? ).
Do any of you guys know how can figure out just what I've got in the way of parts, etc? It's a really nice piece and came with three quality mags for all of $400. I figure the parts are worth at least that much!
Also, anyone know how I can remove a compensator?
