1911 Mil-Spec in OD Green

[BryMo]

I ran across a Mil-spec .045 1911 Springfield in OD Green today. Shop had a certificate showing it is a limited production of 5,500. I believe this gun was 3xx of 5,500. I do not see any detail on this limited run model on Springfield site. I have looked at several other sites and not found any new available.

Does anyone know anything about them? Shop is asking $749 new in box which seems a bit high. What are your thoughts, what do you know about this OD Green gun?

It looked similar to this link and image I found on Buds.

Based on the dates of the feedback responses it looks like they were produced at least 15 years ago.

i can’t help you, but am sure someone else here can.
The reviews in link you posted to Bud’s are from ‘09. That one must have been on the shelf quite a while. Price seems high considering you can get the SA Mil-Spec for less than that, i believe, and it has better sights.

Gun shop I was in turns inventory quickly and they said it was a new arrival from Springfield. I just can't seem to find any details about it. I agree though I did find discussions on models similar from 10-15years ago.

Something doesn’t sound right. I don’t see that gun anywhere on the SA sight.

I bought one of these Mil-spec .045 1911 Springfield in OD Green last month at a local retailer for $549.00. The serial number is MSD 1xxx of 5,500. The gun is manufactured in the Illinois. I too am wondering why there is nothing on SA's website about the guns.

Good afternoon Ladies and Germs
I recently purchased one of these as well. However, it is available only to a Midwest group. And available for a certain buying group, Such as Running's Farm and Fleet.
It is a wonderful example of a 1911 and are brand new to shelves.

I bought one of these a couple days ago. Came with the black padded case,two dog tags with serial numbers and a GI OD green gun rug/zippered case. 1of 5500. Atwood’s farm and ranch (western Oklahoma) had a few in stock. A really nice shooter. I have found no information on SA website about them.

 

[Bobbysixkiller]

Lighting not the best but it is od green.

 

[NMEDGE]

Well, guess the mystery has been solved.

 

[Richdadx4]

I've got one and I'm pleased with it,shoots good!

I enjoy shooting mine,bought it in Oklahoma

 

[Bobbysixkiller]

I’m curious if they are stainless or carbon steel. Nice for sure. Mine shoots spot on. Flawless so far. Probably have around 700 rounds through it. Not a single issue

My guess carbon steel more then likely

 

[Pitdogg2]

Looks like It's parkerized green. My guess is it's carbon steel as well.
