At 04:30 hrs., he began to hear sporadic gun fire up and down the line. The 2 nd Marines were nearly nose to nose with the Japs, maybe 600 yards apart at the most. His section of the defensive line was called Harakiri Gulch. He has been in the 2nd Marines for more than two years. He chuckled to himself about how he managed, with some shadiness, to bring this 1911A1 along with him. He would carry this very same Singer 1911A1 into Guadalcanal where he experienced baptism under fire. He qualified with the Springfield bolt action and a Singer 1911A1. After he graduated “Boot” and “SOI” Seth was assigned to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force. Saipan was 1,463 miles from Tokyo and 6,941 miles back to Newton, Kansas. It is early morning 7 July 1944, and he was wondering what was a boy from Kansas doing in the jungles of Saipan. He had been on this stinking Island, not counting this morning, for 21 days.
Seth set in his firing position staring west into the darkness. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.When They Went to War, They Carried A Powerful Handgun The 1911A1, in combat, was a prized weapon to carry Are parts available for my West Hurley A-O Model 1911? Stokes still works for Numrich as Bob Lippman emailed me that he does?ģ. Stokes supervision and hence its quality? I am wondering if my gun was manufactured under Mr. He found out that the gun was manufactured under the supervision of Jerry Stokes and hence, the high quality of guns during the mid 90s. But the gun he reviewed changed his mind completely. He also started out with a very low view of A-O guns. So, I did some more looking and found an review by Dean Speir of the pre-Kahr A-O 1911A1. But overall the gun handles very well and shoots great. It has a flawless Parkerized finish, very smooth internal milling, the slide has a very slight play if you really work at it. I did some research on various forums and pretty much read only trash talk about A-O firearms. I took it out a couple of months ago and right out of the box it shot 2-3" groups at 15-20 feet.
I purchased the M1911 and it sat in my closet unused for the last 17 years.

The serial number is E 05552 and I purchased it in January 1994.
I have a couple of questions re: my West Hurley A-O M1911.ġ. Your pistol is one of several dozen aftermarket versions of the Colt Goverment Model and while a good servicable is nothing special in the aftermarket world Custom parts for it at both drop-ins and gunsmithing required These parts require a frame cut and a hole in the slot.the FP also differs. I(f you pull up the online schematic of the Colt "O frame" on this site.you are looking for parts:-31.-57 in the frame and -10 and -33 in the slide. You have to press in the aforementioned plunger and hold it there to get the FP to move. With the slide in this position.you should NOT be able to push the FP forward and have it extend from the slide face. With the slide pulled back and locked to the rear you can see the plunger protruding from the underside of the slide. This part will depress a plunger mounted in the slide that is a firing pin block. There are parts for this mounted in the reciever.the RH rear and is visable as a "finger" that levers up when the trigger is pulled rearward.
#Auto ordnance 1911a1 serial numbers series#
The series 70(and prior versions) do not have the firing pin block parts. The exceptions will be on those models that differ from a standard model(the short barrel versions,mainly) The major difference between a series 70 and a series 80 has to do with Lawyer added parts. Your pistol is a clone of the government model 1911A1 pistol and those parts,GI,Colt or aftermarket will fit your pistol.
