Quoted: Been looking on different forums of received orders, does anyone know why so many have mis-matched frames/slide manufacturers? Are they just ripping through em as fast as they can? They ID both parts but more often then not it seems its mismatched. Seems like they could at least put like manufacturers together. View Quote It came from Army Depot like that. CMP did nothing to the guns. Those 1911 turned in for rebuild were full disassembled, cleaned and checked if the old parts still working, then re-finish. It's done in a volume, not one at a time. So by the time parts came out of refinishing tanks, everything mixed up. Any defect parts got throw away and replace with parts they grabbed. Arsenal could care less about who made which parts. That's the beauty of the milspec parts that are supposed to be interchangeable. |

View Quote When they went through arsenal refurbishment, I'm sure the top thing on the Army's mind was that decades later, some collector might be a bit peeved since his frame and slide didn't match. |

View Quote true true true. I thought CMP was doing the rebuilding/parking on them. makes sense that was done when they went into storage decades ago. |

View Quote A couple of other posters have explained why this happens, but it starts on the unit level. The pistols in the units had mismatched parts because we would frequently do mass cleaning when returning to garrison. We would have a detail of three to five guys take all of the pistols, disassemble them, toss the parts into a mix of gasoline and diesel fuel, fish the parts out, dry, oil, and assemble. To a GI, parts is parts and would have no idea of which slide and parts came off which frame. As long as the pistol function checked after being put back together - good to go. If you get an everything matching pistol, it was probably used by some rear area unit that only took them out of the arms room once a year for qualification. |

I got mine back in July 2019 and when I got the call (I was happier than the day my kids were born. Don't tell my wife.) all I was offer was service grade, I was kind of hoping for a field grade. The gun I got was like a new gun with new barrel. It was a matching Remington Rand, built in 1945. I'm defiantly not unhappy with what I got and I don't feel bad at all taking it to the range and punching holes in paper with it.
I have to tell a funny story about this gun, my wife and the range. She wanted to shoot this gun so I took her to the range. This is the first time at the range with me and I go through all the appropriate clothing to wear, because I told her, It's not if you're going to get burned by a hot case, it's a matter of when. I step up to the line she behind me and a little to my right, and I'll be damned, the first hot shell went down the front of her T-shirt. I had to set the gun down, I was laughing, so hard, at her doing a little jig behind me. |

Quoted: Yeah, we do live together and have the same address. Might be why? Wonder if any other couples were the same? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: That's strange. Do you live together; is your address the same? Yeah, we do live together and have the same address. Might be why? Wonder if any other couples were the same? Seems like good odds their random number generator used the address field as a seed. Or maybe their "random number generator" was actually "sort our huge-ass Excel spreadsheet by street address." |

Quoted: What number does this second round start at? View Quote The CMP forum seems to think round 2 started at 20,000. lowest number posted there so far is 20,110. They may have done that so easy to know the difference between round 1 and round 2, as it seems round 1 ended in the 19,000 range. |

My understanding is that the number you are assigned (high, low, somewhere in the middle) means nothing and were probably assigned in sequential order when they received your packets. They will pull numbers at random to assign the guns for sale.

View Quote This is from the CMP website... customer names will be fed into a computerized Random Number Generator which will provide a list of names in sequential order through the random picking process. Customers will be notified of their RGN number by email. Customers will be contacted in the sequence provided by the Random Number Generator. |

Does anyone know when the guns are scheduled to start shipping?
I have heard approximately 1,000 guns per month, with a 10,000 gun cap per year. I am in the 27000 range. |

My dad and I sent packets together and are 2 numbers apart. He has some contacts at the CMP from helping with the Garand sales back in the day and that is what they told him. I wouldn't bet the farm on it but I wouldn't be surprised either. |

Quoted: 318xx Do I have the high number??? View Quote I'm 318xx as well. Sent min on the day before the deadline. When did you send yours in? My Springfield target model 1911 that my wife gifted me when I graduated from grad school was stolen from me. It was my only 1911. Come on karma, throw me a bone here. Make me whole again! |

Roughly the same time, maybe a day or two earlier than that (at the most). I'm just over 1/2 way through the 318xx sequence. |

Yeah I think the random number generator is a crock. Everyone on several threads who have admitted to sending their packets in late are in the 30’s. My dad sent in the first week and is in the very low 20’s. I sent the last week and am in the 30’s.
