M1911A1 SERES'70 (GM5)
This model is the thing which I purchased approximately 20 years ago. I enjoyed touching it until recently. I was satisfied with GM2 till I purchased this model. However, this model got closer to size of a rial gun || had been a success, and purchased it. I don’t have much to say about this model here, as this is the well-known model among you all. I don’t have anything special to tell, anyway, Mr. Mark with whom I exchange links, kindly showed me his photos of “Commander Series `70” among his collection, I tried bluing for this gun referring to his photo, and this is my handwork. (Special Thanks! Mr.Mark) |
I really regret the surface of this model gun is badly scratched and rough, after grinding, the stamp faded, and for the slide the grinding became half-finished. It doesn’t show beautiful blue. The “Rampant Colt” symbol is fading now.(T_T) Because I considerably polished it, the frame was stained with blue. But I contributed to the fact and became two-tone. It looked deep blue in this picture, but actually this is not blue as much as this. How to get photographs is not good enough. |
I polish it be a wire brush while keeping crepe state. Because I think the slide top is not be shiny because of the sighting. The thing of Mr.Mark was done Sandblast of. Therefore, because I thought that this way of thinking was not wrong, I did it for this processing. As a result of this processing, It was stained with blue as a crepe state. Do you understand that blue appears slightly when you compare it with a chamber part? |
It is a few characteristic to a true gun. It splashes it on slide bottom, and plug stops, and there is it. When grinding, the barrel bushing received all pressure, it may caused the problem of strength. I think it to have a trace of GM2 Somehow. For this concern, when it comes to the disassembly of this model, even though plug should be pulled out in the forward direction after making it rotated, the disassembly process takes time since it requires plunging of the plug while making it rotated, not to mention the scarce amount of this component in exposure. As a response to this inconveniency, however the procedure is not orthodox, I pull off the slide stop in order to take off the whole set of the slide and take away recoil spring, before putting off barrel bushing and the plug. |

There is a hollow set screw for a certain chasis fixation in a frame. It usually become a shade of slide stop and cannot watch it. When I completely have to disintegrate, it is necessary to remove it. |
It was a method of the hammer release that I was not able to do in GM2,
but it became possible in this model. I knew that it was possible with a rial gun, but it was not possible to be an old model gun. Bringing backward hummer to the fullest and strangling the grip safety with the hummer unlock safety. It is possible to accomplish hummer down single-handedly by pulling back trigger. Even then, as the hammer functions so quickly, I have not tried the procedure with gunpowder(CAP) actually charged. In the case of real gun, I am even more intimidated as the force of the spring is also stronger. I execute the procedure from time to time with my model, which I cherish ordinarily. |
