New Acquisitions May 2021 - Firearms

Picked this up yesterday from a NES member. I was required to add a Winchester 1894 to the collection after my dad gave me a steel photo of one. Now it's here.

Congrats! I have that on the very top of my "want list", but these days I always seem to end up buying scary looking guns, instead. I figure that the old Winchesters will likely remain legal to buy for the long term (unlike many scary looking guns)...unless you live in MA, of course. ;)

Just got this today from CMP.
Some research by me indicates that this Colt frame was made in 1943. I believe it has the original hammer, slide stop, trigger, magazine release and maybe even grips.

View attachment 479674

Looks great! Does the slide match the receiver? In 1943, some of the Colts had serial numbers under the firing pin retainer (between about 710,000-1.13 million)-probably the replacement is a no go.
