My recently acquired Norc 1911A1, picked up off a WTB ad in the EE. It is one of the ones from the Can Am Norc 1911A1 1K ammo deals.
No "Norinco" or "Made in China" markings. Just the serial number on the right side of the frame and "1911A1 .45" on the left side of the slide.
I detail stripped 'er & cleaned off all the factory gunk. Reassembled with a light oil on metal parts that touch.
Stock grips are very brittle, in fact the right grip broke on 3 when I undid the grip screw on diassembly. I had indended to junk the factory grips anyway, so that was not a surprise or concern. Upon reassemble I installed a set of real USGI 1911A1 replacement grips [from my parts box]. I wanted the "old school" look.
Was pretty greasy when it came out of the factory bag:
All cleaned up, reassembled with a set of USGI 1911A1 replacement grips to maintain that "old school" 1911A1 look:
All ready for a range trip now.
