Second the above advise.

I would say the only thing they "might" need is new barrel bushing and recoil spring. The best ones shake and rattle a bit. AFAIK the Army hasn't procured a new 1911 since just after WWII although many got put into service out new stock throughout the years until the late 70s.

If they work on the range, they will work down range. Check with local command if they will support ammo and use on deployment, they may say no.
