The Great Ongoing Firearms Thread

I was sure there would be a thread for this. I looked up the serial number for my Colt’s Government Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol. It was made in 1917. I’ve ordered a blue, National Match barrel for it to replace the stainless steel barrel it has now. It reminded me that I have a Winchester Model 92 rifle (not carbine – 20-inch octagon barrel with rifle stocks) that was made in 1897.

No need to move it from this thread, as it’s covered in the OP.
