We're hooked up with the distributor via computer, I noticed it when broswing through the list. Didn't ask about it, since it'll probably be a month or two if they follow their usual rate.
Besides, I probably know more about it from this forum than the distributor will

Called the distributor, said maybe 4 weeks.

Hey, I wouldn't care if you ground, chopped, channelled, or altered the living Hell out of one. That way you wouldn't have to do it to a REAL GI Colt!

Nice to finally see they're not just a figment of somebody's imagination.

Off Colt's Web Page:
-Pre Series 70 firing system
-Lanyard loop on arched serrated main spring housing
-Original WWII Rollmarks
-Parkerized finish
-Steel trigger
-Widespur hammer, safety and slide stop with original serrations
Oops. The original Colts with the wide spur hammer had CHECKERED parts, not serrated! The hammer is too big as well.
Nonetheless, with only 4000 being produced enough people will try to kill each other to get one anyway.

Slide stops, Colt, Intermittently, serrated after 1670000. We got to change out that thumb safety though, unsat!
missed a detail - The hammer "Beaver Tail" yup should be checkered! Sorry, mean "Wide Spur"

Well, the problem with the 1991 IMO is the ugly roll-marks. Some people don't like the 80 series stuff either.
OTOH, I'd love to see Colt come out with a matched frame-slide set like the 1911a1 here,hopefully for a decent price, since they wouldn't have to worry about all those parts.
Maybe serrations means checkered to Colt, who knows?
Heck, they're really proud of the cardboard box with wax-paper, mentioning it twice.
While I don't know if it'll be CA legal, could you picture having 3 of these guns dropped, kicked and whatever else teh CA tests need?
Here's a picture of it from a dealer that is advertising it as one actually made in the '40s! See the thread under General Discussion.
