that much money?! I'll stick with my Rock Island Armory 1911. I paid $545 with shipping. it has all the bells and whistles you dont get on a GI. Yes, the slide to frame fit was a little loose but after I Cerakoted it the fit is damn near perfect. I can hit a 12 gauge shell at 15 yards now, I'm happy.

The gov't had many companies making stuff for the wars. If you dealt with metal you could get a contract pretty much.

I recently picked up a 99 year old Springfield 1903 made by Rock Island Arsenal with sporter stock. I've got $10 into it so far. It's such a smooth accurate shooter it may be my new favorite deer rifle. I just have to bed the action and work the trigger. That'll cost me about $75
