rare 1911 Colt Carbine...

 

1956 GM stretched way out. I never heard of an AFPG long slide.

 

Maybe an old pin gun, the extra long slide and barrel and the scope mount grip suggest that. The frame is a 1956 commercial Gov't.
Better pics would be nice.

 

pretty cool long slide,, real long...

 

Pin Gun or a previous owner was an apprentice to a gunsmith.

 

The slide is a 1950s Colt as well, probably original to the frame. However it has been stretched out by a gunsmith.

 

Commonly done by welding on the nose of another slide.
Jim Clark was said to have bought a crate of slide halves from demilitarized guns that he used to build long slides.

 

When I took the gun apart you can see underneath there are additional locking lugs on the slide near the nose.

 

You may want to go outside "in the daylight" to take your pics.

Take a look on the underside of the slide to see if any maker has possibly stamped the underside

 

Photos of the last 3-4 inches of the slide, both inside (underside) and outside views would be nice. Not a CCW choice unless it is in a shoulder rig.

 

Rifling looks right twist? 9'' barrel?

 

In addition, the slide and barrel are marked for a different gun, '8207'. Its a very interesting gun in itself and also a potential regular Government Model if you put a standard slide and barrel on it. At least it doesn't appear to have any mods to the frame. The slide marking would be exactly the same as the one on it and they can be found for around $350 or so. However, as it is, I bet that thing is a tack driver with match ammo.
BTW, I wouldn't shoot it if I were you without running it by a good gunsmith.

 

With the barrel extending like it does, It could have had a compensator like this one:

 

thanks for all the info so far I will try to get some better pics but I cant take outside to get pics live in apartment in california so thats not possible. it is an absolute tack driver ive had now for over a decade.

 

Well, its a very unique, hand-made pistol. I think I would have the barrel ported on top just for grins but I wouldn't really change anything - since the barrel protrudes from the slide, porting would not involve the slide. I am curious about how they did the recoil spring and spring guide. I'm guessing its an 8" barrel, and since it looks like a standard spring cap, it would take quite a long spring.
BTW, you will pick up about 80 FPS velocity with most loads in that long barrel.
Is the barrel one piece or a weld-up?

 

The spring is longer than my standard 1911's but the guide rod is normal GI size the plug is longer than normal almost twice as long. The barrel is 7 6/8 inches long and looks to be two barrels put together the front inch and 3/4 of the barrel is a larger diameter than the rest of the barrel.

 

This rare Colt long slide by Jim Hoag just brought a pretty penny.

 

 

Have you shot it? Did it cycle alright? Was it accurate?
