All that's left of Ithacagun in Ithaca

That interested me, as I don't think anyone offers a copy of the 1911...And Ithaca doesn't either. It's a M1911A1 copy, and the pics show one heavily accessorized...

There was mention of a member on another forum who had made a copy of the 1905 (?) (that was submitted to the original trials) from a M1911A1 but I couldn't find it. That would be a cool retro-clone.

The only 1911 copies (not 1911A1), I've seen were made by Colt about 20 years ago.

Pretty sure any Mag 10 is Remington's problem now. IIRC, they bought the Mag 10 as Ithacagun was circling the drain. The model 51, their Ithaca made semi-auto, was also a dilly. Its charging handle had a habit of falling out while the owner was afield.

Since I'm not much of a 1911 guy, I use the term in the loosest, most general way possible.

I had a GI 1911 made by Armscor in the Phillipines for High Standard https://gunsgunsguns.net/high-standard-gi-1911/ , but its modified ejection port probably keeps it from being a copy. To its credit, it has very crappy sights. G.T. gets to enjoy it now!

I have a 1913 Colt M1911. Don't need a replica
