Watchdog's post made me recall the CMP guns I shot at SAFS at Camp Perry back in the day. Those hardball/EIC/leg match-legal 1911-A1 .45s were always well-worn, many were pre-WW II, and they were, none of them, something special to look at.
But they all shot. These guns were periodically reworked at military arsenals and while ugly, would invariably shoot 10 shots into the 10 ring at 25 yards. If any of those show up in these sales, someone is going to get a heck of a bargain, and a piece of history to boot. And I don't have to tell you what one of these ugly old Remington Rand's will bring at auction today.
