Description:
The New Vintage Ordnance Co. FP-45 Liberator Pistol was the most widely produced and distributed clandestine weapon of all time yet virtually none survive. Now, the nearly impossible hole in every WWII military pistol collection has finally been filled by VINTAGE ORDNANCE CO. LLC. For the first time collectors can own a superbly precise reproduction, for a fraction of the $2500-$5000 cost of the ultra-rare original. (It is estimated that fewer than 300 boxes survive making them even rarer than the pistol itself.) These replicas are copied from the original plans and corrected against the actual pistols. The existing plans are not correct and this is not uncommon with wartime designed materiel. Inconsistencies between the finished product and the plans are typically due to the urgency of production. Often design adjustments were made on the factory floor and never recorded on the drawings. VOCO's reproduction has a rifled barrel and discrete markings to comply with Federal law and hopefully prevent it from being unscrupulously sold as an original antique. The serial number is marked on the front of the grip frame and the company information, model and caliber designation are on the underside of the barrel behind the trigger guard. All characters are the minimum 1/16" high. Not readily apparent are the superior quality steels, heat treating and tighter tolerances. The barrel, tube strap (breech ring) and cover slide (breech block) are made out of 1050 medium carbon cold rolled steel for greater strength. Tightened the chamber tolerances to meet commercial standards and address the terrible headspace problems of the original guns that allowed them to batter themselves apart under repeated firing. The zinc cocking piece is cast from a denser alloy than the original for greater strength. Strip steels were used instead of cheaper commercial quality steel to insure the parts stayed as close as possible to the original specifications. .45 ACP
