Our letter carrier has one of the Argentine 1911's. He is looking into whether any of the commercially available rimfire conversion kits will work on the South American guns? I don't have a clue? Are these the one's folks refer to as "Systema's"?
Anyone know?
THANKS!

The Argentine Systema M1927 is a license-produced Colt M1911 and is dimensionally identical and interchangeable with Colt M1911 parts. The conversion unit should work fine.

On the other hand, if the pistol is a Ballister-Molina, the parts are NOT interchangeable with the M1911.

I've not personally seen the gun to know which it is he actually has?
I'll print this for him.
Thanks Again!

An interesting situation that happened to me. I bought one of the Colt conversion units brand new in the mid 70's. I put it on my 1913 vintage Colt 1911 and it would not work. Fire two or three shots and then jam. I then proceded to put it on a series 70 Colt, and a series 70 Colt Gold Cup. Both worked fine.
Don't know what it was, but it never did work on my 1911.

I had a Kimber conversion kit on an Argentine Systema a couple of years ago and it worked fine.I don't know about a Ballister Molina.

I had a J A Ciener on my Systema 1927 and it functioned just fine. Only so-so for accuracy but good enough for plinking sody-pop cans in the back yard............B.
