The next few years saw the SKS carbines acting in non-infantry and ceremonial roles until about 1990. Advantages over the SKS were the selective-fire option, a rifle that was lighter, had more magazine capacity, not to mention that it was less labor-intensive to manufacture. The quality of the early Soviet carbines was quite high as compared to some later manufacturers.Īlmost as soon as the SKS was brought into service, it was made obsolete for Soviet purposes by the new AK-47 by Kalashnikov. Initially fielded in early 1945 against the Germans, the SKS was not adopted officially by the Soviet Army till 1949 and was produced by the Tula Armory until 1955. This rifle was a less radical 'just in case' for the AK-47's experimental design. The SKS was to designed and produced as a service firearm that would have a limited lifespan between 2 rifles but utilized a reliable operating mechanism design. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.History of the SKS Quincy jones best albums. Are parts available for my West Hurley A-O Model 1911? Stokes still works for Numrich as Bob Lippman emailed me that he does?ģ. Stokes supervision and hence its quality?
I am wondering if my gun was manufactured under Mr. He found out that the gun was manufactured under the supervision of Jerry Stokes and hence, the high quality of guns during the mid 90s. But the gun he reviewed changed his mind completely.
He also started out with a very low view of A-O guns. So, I did some more looking and found an review by Dean Speir of the pre-Kahr A-O 1911A1. But overall the gun handles very well and shoots great. It has a flawless Parkerized finish, very smooth internal milling, the slide has a very slight play if you really work at it. I did some research on various forums and pretty much read only trash talk about A-O firearms. I took it out a couple of months ago and right out of the box it shot 2-3" groups at 15-20 feet. I purchased the M1911 and it sat in my closet unused for the last 17 years.

The serial number is E 05552 and I purchased it in January 1994. I have a couple of questions re: my West Hurley A-O M1911.ġ. Your pistol is one of several dozen aftermarket versions of the Colt Goverment Model and while a good servicable is nothing special in the aftermarket world Custom parts for it at both drop-ins and gunsmithing required These parts require a frame cut and a hole in the slot.the FP also differs. I(f you pull up the online schematic of the Colt "O frame" on this site.you are looking for parts:-31.-57 in the frame and -10 and -33 in the slide. You have to press in the aforementioned plunger and hold it there to get the FP to move. With the slide in this position.you should NOT be able to push the FP forward and have it extend from the slide face. With the slide pulled back and locked to the rear you can see the plunger protruding from the underside of the slide. This part will depress a plunger mounted in the slide that is a firing pin block. There are parts for this mounted in the reciever.the RH rear and is visable as a "finger" that levers up when the trigger is pulled rearward.

The series 70(and prior versions) do not have the firing pin block parts.
The exceptions will be on those models that differ from a standard model(the short barrel versions,mainly) The major difference between a series 70 and a series 80 has to do with Lawyer added parts. Your pistol is a clone of the government model 1911A1 pistol and those parts,GI,Colt or aftermarket will fit your pistol.
