Lets see the firearm collection.....

[Loke]

Ok, this is going to be a lengthy one.
My collection of Kongsberg Colt M/1914 11.25m/m (45 acp.) pistols. They are all made at the norwegian Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk:



The first one.
Made in 1928.
All matching numbers and original finish. Bore is good:




Second one.
Made in 1941 while Norway was occupied by the germans. Delivered to the Armeeoberkommando Norwegen.
All matching numbers and original enamel paint finish. Bore is very good:




Third one.
Made in 1942, also for the Armeeoberkomando Norwegen. This one has got the original phosphate finish wich replaced the enamel paint used on the 1941 and early 42 models. All matching numbers except for barrel wich is new:




Last one (for now).
Made in 1945, but assemblied in 1948 (one of the last M/1914 made at Kongsberg) All matching numbers, original phosphate finish and very good bore:

Very Nice Loke

I'm a huge fun of 1911 pistols. What intrigued me about those Kongsber Colts is the slide stop design.

I would like to find a pristine example of Union Switch and Signal 1911. One can wish.

Very nice, Loke.

I hope Zeke is sitting down when he sees those photos, Loke. Afterall, they aren't Mexican 1911s.

Looking at Loke's pix is like looking though Hustler.

you are a very lucky man Loke, nice collection!!!

[TacoDelRio]

Very cool!

What's the deal with the slide release?

[Loke]

Thank you guys!

The modified slide release was a requirement from the norwegian military when they decided on the Colt design in 1912. The only thing that sets an M/1914 apart from a Colt 1911 is the slide release.
There were approx 33 000 pistols made between 1916 and 1948.
Some of the M/1914 pistols made in 1945, when Norway was still occupied by the german nazis, even have "waffenampt" markings (eagle and swastika).

Is that a left handed parker hale second from top?

Its a Remington 700LH .270 w/ a Leupold 3x9 power scope. I'm left handed so its nice to have weapons suited to me, the AR has a left hand Stag Arms upper.

Thanks for the reply.

I have a parker hale in 303 british which at first glance has the same stock etc hence the question.

Cheers
