I'd always heard frame/slide forgings were imported, finished/assembled stateside
Deb from Springfield posts on the Springfield 1911 forum. She's a reliable source. Or you can give them a call. 1(800)680-6866Not arguing, just would very much like some source for that besides an internet forum.....given the truth-quotient of 95% of internet posts, I'm sure you understand...it's news to me, in any case.
The frame on my SA GI is stamped Brazil and it had a nice little sheet of paper in the box that said Assembeled in USAI'd always heard frame/slide forgings were imported, finished/assembled stateside...haven't seen anything definitive debunking that
I saw that on the national news maybe 10 years ago but I thought it was for the AR-15 markt though. Several days later I heard it was just rumor though. But whatever right?Not arguing, just would very much like some source for that besides an internet forum.....given the truth-quotient of 95% of internet posts, I'm sure you understand...it's news to me, in any case. Of course, so was the news I read here that Colt quit making 1911's several years back (wink).....
