Sidearms & Scatterguns Old 1911 bullseye gun I found at a local pawn shop.

Picked this up a few weeks ago from a local pawnshop. It had just come off of pawn and they wanted $595 for it so I jumped on it. It is a 139XXXX serial number which is a Remington it looks like and a Colt slide. Overall I would say it is in pretty good condition. It has the SA and FJA on it so it looks like it was a springfield arsenal rebuild. Cool gun and I thought I would share. I am seriously thinking about sending it out to have a match barrel and bushing fitted.

Great find. There's something really fun when you find gems like this.

I like it, but then I'm an old bullseye shooter.

I am seriously thinking about sending it out to have a match barrel and bushing fitted.

Why, I'd take is out and put a couple hundred rounds through it first to see if it needs a barrel and bushing, might already have one judging by the shinny bushing.

Outstanding find at an even more outstanding price!!!

I have a bullseye 1911 setup on an Auto Ordnance frame/slide with the full-length Bo-mar rail/tuner on it. I've done a ton of work to it including frame/slide fitting, new barrel/bushing, and various other improvements/refinements, but they are VERY capable pistols indeed. Enjoy it!!!

Jealous. All I ever find in pawnshops is overpriced junk. Nice find! I concur with Kraig though- shoot it before you do anything to it. Might shoot just fine.

The barrel is a series 70 stamped barrel. I have some atlanta arms match ammo I am going to use to see how she shoots. If need be I am going to put a schuemann barrel in it with a fitted bushing and call it a day. The trigger is awesome as it sits now though.

NICE catch!

My local pawn shops prices are always twice what they should be. Nice find let us know how she shoots.

Jery's in Spring Lake. I was looking for some CZ mags and it was sitting in the case.
