S A FRIDAY, Sorry one of our dic's wrote the description I should have changed that, a frame tactical slide mount is a rail system. Also having a bunch of guys come to the S.O. is not an option as the chain of custody would be an absolute mess bringing it in and out for people to check it out.
Colt made some "Generals Pistols" in the 1940's on which there were no markings, etc. Even though yours in NOT a Colt, maybe you can contact them and ask how they identify firearms with no markings.... I dunno, just a thought.
Or: http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/serial.htm
Here is the information a person would use to request the ATF lookup a firearm's serial number if the gun was lost or stolen. Note: The Federal Firearms Licensee (dealer) who sold you the firearm must be "out-of-business (OOB)," otherwise they claim they cannot conduct the search.
Records get turned over after the dealer goes out of business and are presumably kept forever.
Or:
It could be a "home made" weapon...
Or:... It sucks not having any other markings to help out... Did you strip it and examine internals for other serials/markings/etc?
It almost resembles one of the Wyoming Arms Series of pistols. If I remember they bought the tooling from AMT and made a short run of not so great semi's based on the automag series. I used to have one in 10mm, it was a real piece of work. The markings were laser etched on the stainless so they could have been easily polished off and I do remember the serial # being stamped on the butt of the pistol.
Just my 2 pesos.
I did not get a chance to put hands on the weapon. I as given a copy of the picture as I am a gun guy in hopes that I could help identifying it. I believe that a request has been sent to the ATF but as we all know fed time is a lot slower than our time.Quote:

Laseraim 45, google pictures seem to match up fairly well. Got some friends of mine who looked around for it.
Way to go Al! That's it.
Nice call.
Was suggesting someone like a gunsmith come check it out from the local area. Sorry, was in a bit of a hurry this morning when I posted and didn't really express myself too well.
Yes, now that I'm home again and seen the pic, it does indeed appear to be a Laseraim mod. 4525AS SERIES II in .45 ACP with the slide markings worn off/rubbed off/removed. I found some chatter on another blog about Laseraim selling off their company to AMT in 1995. If you are trying to find records on the gun, you might want to contact AMT and see if they retained Laseraim's old records during their merger.
