Springfield MilSpec 1911 instock @ AO

[Danny]

Adventure Outdoors has a milspec model in stock for $609. Not many, if any of you will care, but back when i was hunting for one they were a PITA to find and i still see used GI models (one step below) going for practically this price. As far as i know they are still a pain to find.

Just a friendly heads up to anyone he is starting to get the 1911 itch! They go for 700-770 on gunbroker, plus shipping and transfer ($50 minimum)

[Truegiant]

[Frög]

Nice buy koukis!!! Jealous!

Thanks for the heads up danny!

[Danny]

Awesome man! Pictures and range report asap!

[koukis14]

Factory sights suck. Everything else is sex. I will be upgrading the sights as soon as I have the money. Pics not possible now. I'm doing all my interneting via iPhone for the next month. I forgot how little recoil these things have. The trigger is fantastic out of the box. I will be spending some money on this firearm in the coming months.

[Truegiant]

send it to me for some custom tuning and to danny for some custom smoothing and reparking. Danny you got pm.

2 best mods for your milspec will be to do a full dehorn, and a complete trigger group. Also i went with the extended thumb safety, ALOT easier on the thumb when ran hard.

The only thing IMO that actually sucks on these guns from the factory is all the sharp edges, these things will get you bleeding in no time at all when running hard. Thus why i say a full dehorn is my favorite mod to this particular 1911 and all others too.

post up when your ready to do some modding.

also, you really dont like the sights that much? I think they are just fine. what is it about them you dont like?

congrats again on the purchase, i think you will have a ton of fun with this tool.

I think the front sight is crooked. It looks weird when aiming. I want to get some red and green fiberoptics.

You will regret getting fiberoptic sights. Trust me on this one. If your looking for anything with a tridium type sight look into xs sights. there a inexpensive entry level sight.

AO usually has a handful on the shelf, mostly new, but a couple used here and there.

for a factory gun i have heard they are pretty decent.

[Danny]

so koukis, did you score a NM prefix frame or N frame? (serial number, first 2 letters)

[Truegiant]

[Danny]

kickin myself for mentioning this, think im ready for a new build... arghhh

So you never reported back how your new beauty is doing

[koukis14]

NM why?

[koukis14]

Oh and I have not shot it again. I should be going out this weekend.

[Danny]

NM why?


NM are american fitted, and N are brazilian fitted. Generally speaking the NM are nicer pistols and are more sought after.

Sweet

[Truegiant]

american fitted. Got any idea where they buy there frames from?

[Danny]

Springfield 1911s are from Brazil, they are all forged there by IMBEL. Final fitting and finish is either done in the US or in Brazil (N frames are brazilian, and have the "IMBEL BRAZIL" logo stamped into the frame).

XDs are made, fitted and finished in Croatia by HS Produkt. Springfield owns the import license for the gun to the USA, they chose to relabel the gun as the "XD".

[Danny]

Should be noted that IMBEL does outstanding forgings. But their fit and finish is lacking sometimes (thus the desire to have the NM frames).

[Truegiant]

glad you did your research my young padawan.. haha..

ATTN: If your bored, see if you can find three interesting facts about IMBEL!

That goes for anyone.. Now on to finishing my post about what i have been up to for the last week.

[Danny]

bleh, that was past research. I didnt research it just for you.

1. IMBEL does brazilian military stuff. i think lol
