Sharknado is a movie that just came out in the last couple of months, and people are factoring in the savings if they bought the gun and ammo separate. The gun is around 350, the ammo around 320 to 325 for a 670 total. 670-499= 171 in savings. That is what people are factoring in.

Sorry guys I was not specificaly talking about the 1911 combo purchase savings. On my purchase I did save $171 on 2 crates of .45 acp, 1- rifle and 2 mag loaders

For those who are wondering, I went to the range with Pavementsurfer and his duracoated piece. She shoots and feels beautiful. That coating is fantastic. Also adds a big time cool factor! Well worth the investment!

Thanks man. That was a good afternoon. Great to meet and get to know a fellow nut also.

I wanted a case of can am's cheap .223 so I bought it and my 5th 1911 combo along with one of those cheap $7 knives. Came to $824 total, but less the %10 I'm looking at about $740. When you factor in what all this would have cost individually... The savings are ridiculous. I'm going to strip and armacoat this one and sell it too.
 
Was on the fence about ordering this, but with the 10% off I went for it. Cant wait for it to arrive so i can try out both my first 1911 and 45acp!!!

This deal is even better for us in the Atlantic provinces because shipping is usually a deal breaker when something like ths comes up! But not at Canam!

My first order, I called Can Am the same day to confirm the purchase, called the CFO myself a few days later to confirm the transfer, and Can Am had my combo in my greedy little hands in 6 days from the time I ordered.

I'm going to ride this one out and not interfere this time, see how long it takes.

Here is my Norc. Completely stock so far. Will be replacing every part in it besides frame, slide and barrel eventually...when the cash is available..:p
But for now the work I have done to existing parts include
-sanded and polished all rough ugly machining marks inside and out (the frame was particularly awful)
-lightly dehorned some sharp edges
-filed a better angle and polished the slide where the disconector rides, making the slide move more evenly
-polished feed ramps
-filed and lapped the slide to frame fit (next will be tightening and peening the fit)
-adjusted the sear spring to provide more tension on the grip safety as when I received the pistol it just was loose and rattled
-polished the trigger bow, de-burred and polished trigger tack
-re shaped the trigger bow with a trigger stirrup
-performed a full trigger job which included---v
- filing hammer hooks to proper height and stoning a proper 90 degree angle
- re cutting the primary angle on the sear, then relief cutting just over 1/3 of that area, finally just barely breaking the angle those 2 cuts created
- verifying the disconnecter bevelled edge
- cutting 2 coils from the main spring (I will buy a lighter weight one in future but as I said..no aftermarket stuff yet! this just tinkering!)
- adjusted sear spring to lower tension on ignition parts.
- polished all surfaces required on ignition parts
- Doing this dropped my trigger pull from a horrible ~10 ish pounds, inconsistent, all the way down to 3.75-4lbs, zero creep, minimum pre travel, breaks like glass.

-bluing was terrible all over pistol, plan to get it gun-kote finished but for now I did the brushed stainless look to the slide and touched up the bluing on the frame
-added some cool punisher grips

My intention for this pistol was to use it as an educational tool so I can become semi-proficient in using the tools of the trade for 1911 customization and parts fitting. being so this pistol will most likely see many different turnouts. from this worked over stock punisher gun, to a MEUSOC clone that I intend to make.
HOWEVER..if money permits, maybe I will just buy more of these sweet deals and make a bunch of different styles to suite my many 1911 tastes!
Working on this pistol has been a great learning experience and I have already taken what I have learned and applied it to my Kimber warrior. which btw is currently sporting a 3.25lbs trigger pull...:evil:

My next plans for the Norc, besides fitting all new parts like previously stated is to hand checker the front strap and trigger guard at 25lpi. Then move that skill over to my warrior and other 1911's that need it.

In conclusion, learning everything I possibly can about the model 1911 and applying that knowledge on my own firearms has been greatly rewarding and if you are willing to put in the time to do the work and spend the money for the jigs and speciality tools that make this work easier I say go right ahead! almost everything you need to get started on the learning aspect can be found in volume 1 and 2 of JERRY KUHNHAUSEN's 1911 manuals and with the addition of online forums and even youtube it makes the process go fairly smoothly! :D
 
My first restricted orderd babay! So pumped!! Learned lots from this site so far so I wanted to say thanks everybody keep up the amazing work!
 
Curious about 2 things.

1: Who has ordered the most combos?

2: Who are members of the "ordered 5 combos" club?

I think there are alot more 5 combo people than youd expect. Especially after this %10 discount offering. But I wonder who has ordered the most. Not that its a competition, just curious.

Good choice! It was my first brand new handgun. It only took 7 days to get to me in eastern ontario! That's from purchase to hands.
 
Figured I'd share mine.

I've had it out to the range now and have put 200 rounds through it total. It seems to fire accurately as it's my first handgun purchase I've been able to hit targets on-point with it at up to 30 meters so far. Haven't tried any further just yet.

As for tweaking, I've put new black cobra grips on it(with thumb grove) and a colt adjustable skeleton trigger. Along with that I've also purchased a colt skeleton hammer to match, but it's not on in this photo.

Just ordered Jerry Kuhnhausen's vol 1 and 2 .......thanks for making me aware of their existence...... I have a rattling grip safety and a very large trigger pull too...... with your notes and a few Youtube clips, I hope I can figure it out .... worst case, I'll buy another combo...... :D
 
Got mine today, overall quite happy. 1 week transaction. Only tiff, after cleaning the oil of noticed quite a few micro scratches in the blueing. Andddd the barrel bushing looks like it was forged in the pits of mordor haha.

Rock on can am

One week huh? My second combo is going on for one week plus one day now. I said I was going to sit back and see how long it was going to take, no interference from me to the CFO, but I'm starting to itch and thinking about calling, haha!
