Need a junk 1911 for tutorials

[Major Tom]

I need a junk 1911 to use for tutorials in disassembly/assembly. It can have cracked slide/frame and other issues to make it unworthy of firing or to make it fireable. Must have all parts tho. any help is appreciated.

Buy an RIA (Armscor) factory second from Sarco?

C-90

By the time they have arrived at that condition they are so steeped in history and in such demand that you could probably buy a 50% original finish pistol cheaper.

Do I detect a note of sarcasm there?

Wear = History (even if it was under the seat of Bubba's truck.)

I would be embarrassed to tell you what I sold this US&S for!!!

Wow John, looks like that was under water for awhile!

I heard of one that the owner stashed under a hot water heater or water softner for safe keeping . It blew while they were on vacation and it soaked in that stuff that came out of it for a few weeks . Kinda looked like that afterwards.

Ah yes, the gas from Bubba's pharts adds a certain patina that often times fools collectors into thinking the gun has cold blue due to the rotten egg odor.
