Trade: Police Service Six for a 1911

[marlin1881]

I'm into the Bullseye game and need a "National Match" configured 1911A1, for specifically shooting the CMP Distinguished Pistol competition. Basically, I could use most any 1911 (with modifications), as long as it doesn't have slide serrations on the front, only the back. The other stuff I could swap out to make it proper for this type of shooting. For instance, it can't have a beavertail, but must have the standard GI grip safety. I could swap out grip safeties, no problem. There are a whole list of other restrictions, but I think most can be dealt with.

Does anyone have a 1911 they would part with, knowing I need to modify it, most likely? Even if it needs a new barrel, or slide tightened, or completely refinished... No problem. The new Ruger 1911 might work, but I'm getting clarification from CMP if the front sight is OK.

I've got a very nice stainless 4" Police Service Six I could use for trade. S/N 151-154xx 357Mag. Pre-warning.

Let me know. Thanks.

I have two Colts, one from 1965 and one from 1960.

The 1965 gun appears to be stock except that a recoil spring guide rod has been added and it has Colt medallion Pachmayr grips. Finish is a little low, maybe 75%.

The 1960 gun is boxed w/papers and has been modified by R.L. Shockey (back in 1960) and was first sold retail as a Shockey Hardballer in 1960 by Gil Hebard Guns and has the warranty paper so noting. Has an Elliason rear sight, front/rear grip frame stippling, original Coltrock (plastic) grips. Tape on box indicates it had 100 rounds through it when sold used at some point. I suspect a lot of internal accurizing and "mousetrap" but I have not torn it apart. Finish is excellent as modified, 98%.

I'd take that Service Six as partial trade toward either.
