[What Did Santa Bring You?]

Father in law gave me a very nice correct Remington Rand 1911A1. Nice dark greenish parked finish, very pretty. He had it stashed for decades. One of the best presents I've gotten in years.

[WTK: How to tell difference between a Frigidaire and Colt M2HB Barrel]

I just checked my 3 unlined WW2 vintage M-2 barrels. The markings are pretty cryptic. There is, of course, the drawing number, just behind the carry handle cut. Plus some other small letters and numbers, but nothing that would lead me to think they were manufacturers codes. M-2 barrels are pretty interchangeable, so, I don't really worry too much about which barrel goes in the gun, other than to use the most worn out one first, till it gets close to the reject mark on the throat or bore gauge. My gun is a Frigidaire, as well.

[Any good full line gunshops in the Atlanta,GA area?]

Going to be visiting in a couple of weeks. Are there any good independent gunshops with a selection of used classic firearms in the Atlanta/Marietta metro area? Thanks in advance!
