  • There’s some subtle differences in the frame shape and other things that I’m too dumb to articulate. The only marks I can see are import marks from “CAI” - Century International Arms, which would be strange to see on a USGI 1911.

    I think this model is a Star BM, and surplus retailers were hocking these things for ~$250-300, about 6/7 years ago. I almost got one but decided against it.

    Even back then, once the public support died down a bit they just had the NYPD bulldoze the whole thing. Since then the police have only gotten more brazenly violent against protests that are not in the establishment’s interests.

    Shit will get “wild” when instead of picket signs and bullhorns, people start bringing rifles and pipe bombs. Otherwise the outcome of any meaningful protest will be the same no matter how many people show up: an unforgiving police crackdown.




  • Then it becomes an issue of intent, and how someone looking into you might interpret your intent. You might end up legally in the right but still end up harassed, jailed, and/or put on trial with all the costs that entails in the meantime.

    If you’re underwater financially or you’re clearing out an estate sale, its a legal avenue, but I wouldn’t make a habit of selling self-made guns.
