Eventually, I got a hold of someone else who sent me a new bolt which worked. Took a week to get anyone on the phone after that. Had they read the letter I sent with it (which they advised me to do) they would have known that I already switched extractors and that it needed to be test fired more than once for it to start jamming up. I eventually sent it back to the factory, where it was lost, and came back late with a note that just mentioned switching the extractor, which I'd already done. Wouldn't function out of the box, brand new at over $1000. I can't speak for the 1911, but I had their Thompson a while back.
I would be thankful for any first hand accounts of this pistol. I have owned 4 1911s in the past but never this brand. I only run ball ammo so it should function. I have a Thompson / Auto Ordinance Ao 1911 A1 with serial number AOC 22512. I'm also new to the forum and have a number of questions. We now offer high quality copies of various hard to find government reports, files. For years we have been asked about various government reports. I know they are not considered a high end firearm, but are they reliable? I have never owned an Auto Ordnance gun before. I understand Springfield has discontinued their GI version.
I know it's got a hammer block so it is not a true mil spec. 1911 I can find on the market is the one offered by AO. › ★ ★ ★ Auto Ordnance 1911a1 Serial Numbers ★ ★ ★
