wanted Wanted - USGI 1911

[monkeylizard]

As the title says, I'm looking for a USGI 1911. Either M1911 or M1911A1 are OK. I'd prefer Colt, but also interested in the other 7 brands, though I doubt anyone's looking to move a Singer

I'd prefer a matched frame and slide (same manufacturer) vs. a mix-master but it's not a requirement.

I know what's on GB, but prefer to deal with established TGOers.

 PLEASE READ THIS TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED 

• Be very wary of people who contact you privately to offer an item for sale.  Every single time someone has been scammed via a Want To Buy ad on TGO, the scammer has done it privately.  Force them out into the open so that the other members and moderators can help make sure they pass the sniff test.
   
• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.  Negative feedback should inspire caution.  Come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• NEVER, EVER agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!!  None of them, that we are aware of, will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.

I've got a Remington that a sentimental value, but I'd like to find a US&S. I'm just not willing to pay the price I could get a 249 for.

@Alleycat72 - Are you saying you'd be interested in selling the Remington? If so, hit me up with a PM with details and pics.

It's one of those things I could never let go of. My Wife's graeat uncle carried it in Korea. I have his holster and the Colt .22 LR conversion kit he got for it. The Wife's family would kill me. I'm the only one it's safe with. They want my oldest Daughter to have it when she gets older.

Go to CMP.com   Forum   For Sale-Other     most makers pop up there and normaly under GB price. Free to join. They also sell them on there to general public you get approved and wait to see your turn when they are doing it.

Thanks, but like I said in my OP, I prefer to deal with a well-established TGOer.

CMP isn't currently taking orders. But it is the best and cheapest way to get a pure G.I. Pistol. Keep watching, they'll sell more sooner or later. 

Monkeylizard, you'll just have to keep your eyes open and hopefully get lucky. G.I. pistols are getting harder to come by. Also be prepared for sticker shock. They ain't cheap.

Yep. I'm aware of both CMP (and their order process) and the current market prices. I still want one and have cash for the right gun.
