I think he means they obsolesced. They’re not “Loose” at least not the service grade ones. As I dated before some had their slide repacked by current (1980sat the time) slides and parts before they went into long term storage. They all gauge within servaice able and useable range fornissue to the military.

I also don’t understand why these are getting so much hate? No one complains about the Garands or Carbines, or mossberg .22s, or Kimber .22s. Is it the price? The process? The prices isn’t bad, don’t believe me check the collectors market. Are there cheaper ones? Yes but they are collectors items. The process was explained in simple English. It’s different as it’s a whole other department in the CMP wih different rules, set forth by congress, not CMP. It’s easy. Dont tlike then don’t buy one.
