the fact that I don't have a number yet has me convinced I will get F'd on this.

There are also folks who didn't get RGN numbers but have gotten the call for their picks too.
I didn't do the confirmed delivery but sent it early, and no RGN. I'll wait till May to send my email to find out what happened.

Yup. No reason to freak out. My buddy actually alerted me to check my email, as he got his number. I would have otherwise not even thought about it this quickly.

Excited for sure!

What options were you given and what did you choose?

When you get called, please post your RGN.  Once we get a few, people later in line can determine roughly how many numbers the CMP is going through per week, and get an idea as to when they'll be called.

Thanks!

Email received on 4/6 for me. I figure they are getting through about 250 a week. I'm at 20613 so I should get a call this week!

Fresh off the Fedex truck.

Colt frame, Remington slide.  1990 replacement barrel.  (I did not know there were contracts for 1911 parts that late.)  I'm real happy with it.  The markings are crisp.

Is that original finish?

That is exactly what I want. I would even be happy if it were more worn.

What grade?

Service Grade.

I don't know on original finish- shouldn't heat treat around slide stop be visible if it hasn't been refinished?

The finish on the Colt frame and Rem slide match each other well.  I'd say it's been together like this for quite some time.

Nice. I was with 1AD when we transitioned to the M9 in 1989. Many units took 1911A1s with them to Sandbox I, and it took a few years after that for the 1911A1 to disappear from the arms rooms.

I'm afraid I'll reject the call if I don't recognize the number.

It's a 256 area code if that helps.

Word is from those who have missed the call that they leave a voicemail and send a follow up email to any unanswered calls.

You could always just answer any phone call that starts with 256

Reserve units had 1911A1’s as late as the late 90’s. My national guard armor unit finally replaced our 45’s around 1997.
I bet there were units that replaced them even later, and then you have the special ops units that held on to some even later.
Also from what I have read the navy also retained them longer than the other services.

20805 - just got the call 5 minutes ago.  All three grades offered.  Will have the pistol here on Tuesday.  I wasn't expecting the call until late next week as I thought they were in the low 20600 range still.

The lady I spoke with said she would put the request in, and although they couldn't promise it, they would try to do it. I am good either way, but a same mfg slide and frame would be cool

Thanks for the info.

Now I have to think of how to succinctly describe “no gray refinish, but moderate patina of use.”  Maybe I just did....

My number was 20471.  I requested a Field Grade with "character"and not refinished, any maker, matching prefered.  I didn't want a refinished 80s rehabed gun with a new slide.  She suggested I go with Field grade.

I received a Remington Rand with original finish 70%, original barrel, grips were replaced and a MecGar magazine.  I was very happy!
 Tell them what you want, they will tell you the grade is all they can guarantee, but they pass your preferences to the people pulling the guns.

She called me as well................I figured I'd roll the dice and ask for matching. I read somewhere on the CMP forum that someone did the same and got it, so I figured what the heck. I dont care which manufacturer it is

Got the call yesterday and picked up the pistol today, April 28. All three grades were available and I went with a Service grade. I asked for an original finish or Colt.  My RGN was 20,859.  The frame is a 1943 Ithaca and the slide is a Remington Rand. Finish has service character that isn’t as easy to see in the photos. Haven’t had a chance to disassemble it yet. Where is the barrel marked?  This is my first 1911 and will go well with the rest of my CMP collection.

That is a nice dark finish. I wouldn’t mind a refinished one as long as it wasn’t the light grey. Or maybe it is just the lighting of your pic?
