Comparing canammo to those companies is hugely absurd. They are busy, not immoral LOL

And if you've watched question period at all you'd notice the #####ers are the NDP. So you've got it backwards ;)

thats fine. if you and the others who tolerate slow service continue to publicly announce that you are happy with slow service thats what you will get because companies have no incentive to changenif thatnis the case. therefore, the blame is on both sides.

Really, there are 263 pages on this one topic alone. You didn't think it was going to take some time to get your purchase. Mine took 46 days from ordering to gun in hand. I also ordered some other things to but I didn't care because I took the time to read things and I understood that there would be delays. To rip apart a business on an open forum well my dear the only thing that it does it make you look like a complete moron. Cancel everything thats good it just means that there will be more stuff for people that have a bit of patients. But to say that you will never do business with them again and that word travels fast bla bla bla. So they loose you but still have 1000's of other customers.

I guess you didn't read correctly, I was not #####in about the handgun as I stated I was expecting a delay with that because of CFO.. I believe I mentioned that twice. It was my two orders for ammo and another for a shotgun which are not controlled by CFO I was wanting. As for these posts on this thread, Can you in your infinite wisdom guarantee that every post is a customer who made a purchase? As for moron, When you make a purchase and have already paid for it do you expect half decent service with shipping of said purchase? Or are you prepared to wait forever even when you are out of supplies which is why you ordered in the first place. By the way! The Norinco and 1000 rnds. is a good deal which is why I ordered it, even though I already have three handguns. It was ammo I had run out of, Been so long I was having withdrawal symptoms.

I don't mind waiting. Once I have them, I'll forget the wait, and I'll have them as long as I want them, and in the meantime, I have lots of other things to do. Those who cancel are providing the deal for others - they should just cancel and go away. If they choose to post here, they should be neither surprised nor offended when they get flamed. It's just the attention they crave.

As for Canada Ammo having my money for several weeks, and me not having my gun, with what savings accounts are returning these days, it's "costing" me maybe $0.25/week. Hardly a panty-twisting number.
 
Someone was asking a few pages ago if all the barrels were unevenly finished...

Mine seems to be alright.





Someone else was asking if they could "swap out" for a new barrel - and I'm pretty sure this would be an easy "drop - in" upgrade.

As far as I can tell so far, these things are just about 100% Colt (or USGI) compliant. A new barrel may be on my wish list, too!

I spoke with the CFO today regarding my transfer, and I managed to get the following info:

1. All transfers for CanadaAmmo have been approved and faxed, so CanadaAmmo is just busy processing the shipment of these orders as we are all already aware. Mine was initiated on June 7th and approved last week.
2. The BC CFO is overwhelmed and all calls are being directed to Mirimichi because of this deal and the amount of calls they are receiving. Not once have I spoke to someone at the CFO's office in BC regarding any of my ATT's or transfers in the last few weeks.
3. I think the people at CanadaAmmo will be taking a vacation after this deal is complete, but I can't wait for the next one!

Karl, can you post a pic of the underside of the barrel too? The top view of yours looks very good, even coating.

Yup - Here ya go!




This beastie (the gun!) is very tight! Especially the barrel bushing - needs a bit of polishing. But no burrs on the slide stop, and even the feed

ramp looks good in the frame!

(Pic to follow...)

Yeah Karl, your barrel coating looks way better than someone else's previous post where things looked odd. Hope mine look the same as yours. Did both look that good?

Hi again Canthitathing... I have a "feeling" that the majority of these 1911s are in pretty decent shape. I saw only the one example of an uneven barrel

that someone posted, and one pretty rough frame and slide - these I think are the exception rather than the rule. I *am* sure that each will require some minor

fitting and polishing to make them more comfortable, if not more reliable. Mine had the recoil spring plunger seized into the slide, and was a bugger to get

loose. The barrel bushing is sticky as well. I may just replace those with something from Brownell's rather than grind, file, sand, polish and re-blue! LOL

My other one is still vacuum - packed and secreted away for a while. I looked to make sure the grips were intact, (they are) and hid the box in the bottom

of my safe. I selected the higher serial number to play with first - (9036XX) and left the earlier one (9025XX) to mellow, so I have no opinion yet on

its internals.

Have you been following the "Other 1911s" threads on the 1911 Forum? There are some UGGGGGLY "other" 1911s out there!! In the $400 to $1,000 range, too!

We are so lucky to have had this deal fall into our reach!!! $170 for a ROCK SOLID 1911!!! And USGI compliant, too!!! (As far as I can tell!)

OH - P.S. The barrel appears to me to be "in the white." Machined after forging, but no finish applied.

Technically, Malda, it's not a slide RELEASE, but a slide STOP. To properly chamber a round, one inserts a loaded magazine and pulls back on the slide itself.

To cycle the slide manually, remove the magazine, and pull back on the slide, the slide STOP will drop out of the way. I don't recommend allowing the slide

to "slam home" on an empty chamber, but a lot of people do it anyway. That's why I refuse to purchase a used 1911.

Oh - you may enjoy the parts breakdown listed here:

Well if you see that people are taking the ammo out and selling the gun for ludacris prices, such as $300 on the EE, for the $170 price of the gun, it seems like it's well worth it to upgrade.
 
well 300 shipped for the gun isn't really ludacris, seems to be average price, most retailers have them for around 350$ then there is tax plus shipping, now if you have a few extra bucks to spend might as well go for the combo but be prepared to wait a bit for it.
