I own a Springfield 1911 A-1 and I would like to get a rail system to attach a flashlight. Are there rail systems available which require little or no machining? If so what are the best rail systems available?
Thats a tough question. Both are excellent guns Springfield Armory's Mil-Spec 1911A1 semiautos are, just as the name implies, made to emulate the original military 1911 .45 ACPs that have been part of the fighting handgun scene for 90 years. These are not accurized pistols with adjustable sights or any other bells and whistles. Springfield Armory says of their military style 1911s: Springfield's Mil-Spec pistol is a faithful recreation of John Browning's classic 1911-A1. If you're looking for traditional features and quality in a no-nonsense package, the Parkerized Mil-Spec is for you. I just purchased my first RIA 45. Paid 340.00 out the door, and I've got to say this was a great deal. I have 7 1911 style 45's, Kimbers, Colts, And SW's. I was very surprised at the quality and and how well this thing shoots. 250 rounds not a single problem. its an awesome gun!
You mean a rail road? Im not sure you can buy one of those, and I dont think you can put one in a gun.
