Take a look at this auction item to see the horrors perpetrated on a GI Colt.
No wonder the shop auctioning it has prominently proclaimed that they had nothing to do with this desecration.
It's not like there aren't a ton of cheap-jack 1911 guns out there if someone wanted to do something like this: Rock Island (Armscor), Auto-Ordnance, Taurus, Tisas, Girsan, ATI, Citadel. More and more companies are offering them almost weekly. You can get an 80% frame and build your own, if you have the skills.
Hacking on a wartime Colt is, to my mind, blasphemy.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
That is probably the worst looking pistol I have ever seen. Why even do that to a cheapo?
ReplyDeleteUglyed up an otherwise nice .45. Dipshits

I have to plead mea culpa because although all I did was add a micro sight in the rear and a higher blade in the front, the 1911 was a war version w/ Parkerized finish.
ReplyDeleteMy mitigation is I was 22 years old and hadn't yet learned of "value to collectors". I'm not a collector, either, and I'm never going to sell it, so it's kind of a "no harm—no foul" thing.
But I still beg forgiveness on the altar of John Browning.

It looks like the internet agrees with your sentiments: 10 hours left and ZERO bids. Such blasphemy should be punished. JMB-PBUH
ReplyDeleteThe auction ended with no bids. The seller has relisted it at the same price.
ReplyDelete(Good luck with that, Bucko)
Still for sale as of Dec 1...and I think I'm going to be ill from looking at it. Might as well have just surrendered it to some stupid "buy-back" or simply tossed it off a pier.
