Factory letter assessment.

[Texas Jack Black]

 I letter my Colts and early Winchesters and NEVER use Cody.

Well, I got the info from the FOIA request for my M1D.  (That was fast!)   The "bad" news is that the information is limited.   The good news is that it is somewhat interesting, and there was NO CHARGE, so it is worth doing.

Here's a pic of what they sent me.

 

 

There was also a generic explanation of the data samples page.   The interesting thing about the sample page is that it listed info for a 1911.   Take it with a grain of salt, but for the low cost of Zero, I think it's worth getting the data.

One I didn’t see on your list, a spanish company, AYA - Aguirre y Aranzábal. I haven’t utilized their service to be able speak to the quality of the letter, but it is available. The instructions they provided are attached. I wasn’t sure if wiring money to a European account made me feel like James Bond or like I was getting scammed, but that’s a secondary matter.

Thanks.   This is kinda what I was hoping people would do, share info about other gun companies.

Oh, I recently learned the HK does not do letters, but they will tell you date of manufacture if you ask.   Contact info is on their website.
