Third all the above.

Caveat:

Although the mil-issue 1911's are sloppy and not match level accurate, they are hand fitted. The barrel link, barrel lug to slide, barrel bushing, slide to frame, sear, trigger, hammer, grip safety are all fitted.

AND as these have a few rounds thru them, the slide and frame rails will be well worn, maybe to the point where interchangeability is lost.

Net Net,, Get a 1911 armorer to check them out. Look for frame cracks. Then take them to the range and run a couple hundred rounds thru them.

Also, find a couple copies of Jerry Kuhnhausen's books to study and take with you.

"The Colt .45 Automatic: A Shop Manual, Vol 1"
"THE U.S. M1911/M1911A1 PISTOLS A SHOP MANUAL, vol 2"

And get a copy of TM 9-1005-211-34.
PM and I can send you a PDF copy.

Good luck, be safe..
