Description
This is a compact rimfire semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed as a 85% scale version of the classic John M. Browning M1911 government model. The firearm features a 3.5-inch barrel and is constructed with a lightweight alloy frame and slide finished in a matte black. The pistol is fitted with checkered wood grip panels featuring traditional diamond accents around the grip screws. Technical specifications include fixed combat-style sights, a skeletonized hammer, an extended thumb safety, and a functional grip safety. The barrel chamber is clearly stamped 22 LR. Prominent markings on the left side of the slide include BROWNING ARMS CO. / MORGAN, UT. U.S.A. while the right side of the slide is marked 1911-22 alongside the Browning Buckmark logo. The right side of the frame bears the serial number 51EZX15748. This lot includes one 10-round single-stack detachable magazine and a black soft-sided slip holster. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in excellent overall condition, retaining nearly all of its original matte black finish with only very minor signs of handling wear visible near the muzzle and on the slide rails. The checkered wood grips are sharp with no significant dings or finish loss. The bore is bright with strong, crisp rifling. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The included magazine and holster show minimal signs of use.
