Wow, Farva, that is an awesome story and an amazing gun. I will inherit a lot of guns that have significant meaning to my family. My grandfather was a U.S. pistol champion and I will have the Smith and Wesson .38 that he used to win that title.

Mother of god.

Amazing gun with an amazing story. I'd almost be afraid to put rounds through it, and instead just stare at it. Maybe even frame it in a locked glass case (possibly with the firing pin removed for safety).

also forgot to mention, he gave the gun back for a cleaning and for me to put a lighter spring in it so he can fire it. It is in pristine condition. He just bought one of those smith and wesson bodygaurd .380's and he can barely pull the slide back on it. I am going to lube the 1911 up and throw a super soft spring in it and take him to the range. He is almost 88 years old ripping! haha

Hell yeah, if he wants to fire it then get that thing running!

Maybe even throw a soft recoil buffer in there for him.

Whenever I get a rare collectible war gun, I shoot the shit out of it.

John Moses Browning is rolling in his grave at 1911s and 1911A1s sitting in safes wrapped in oil cloths.

Grandpa's across the country who fought in wars know whats up. And they shoot that shit hard.

Some Sage EBR love:

I love M14 EBR's. they're nice to shoot and good to look at.

alot of the 6RAR SAS guys have been using them and prefer them over the M4's now.

yeah. my father was a big fan of making a gun look beautiful and leaving it in the safe to look at. My grandfather(my mothers father and owner of the 1911) was a little more into function than fashion. Very traditional and old school and he wants to pop some rounds through the old gun again, i am very excited about taking him to the range and watching him shoot it again.

Just be careful with a super light spring. The slide is going to slam into the frame harder. Recoil buffer will help but they give reliability issues on some 1911's.

I was thinking about that too... possibly handload some lighter loads? They may not be 100% reliable but for the intended purpose they should work.

Can't compete with that awesome 1911 up there, but those EBRs made me go out and make some purchase! Again, sorry it's not real, but it's the best I can roll with over here in gay ass England.

Damn, those could pass for real no problem. Are they airsoft?
