Wow. Very nice. That pistol ends the 'dem 1911's are beat up junk talk.

Nice! Still waiting for any contact here, I swear those rando-num thingies hate me.

Same here, I was wondering if my app made it to them, have not heard a word.
Guy I work with got notice a few weeks ago, number around 1500, just got the call last week they were ready to ship it to him.

[Orlando]

You may not hear anything for several months

[GM4spd]

Today a friend in Philadelphia just received his. It’s a correct Colt at least
slide/ framewise from 1945;GHD inspected. Refinished and some marks
are thin but still a WW2 Colt that’s got some significance to it.

[smle-man]

Nice! Kind of makes the 'beat to crap pieces of junk' folks look silly who are nay-saying this offering from the CMP.

[SkyHawk]

That Colt - wow!!

[MajorSideburns]

I haven't gotten so much as an email, starting to get paranoid something happened to my packet or that it was incomplete somehow!

I'm in the same boat but I wouldn't start to lose hope yet, still somewhat early in their process.

Me too, not a word.
Guy from work has his in the 10 day jail.
His # was around 1500.

[CessnaDriver]

Looks like they are only in the 3500s for now, and holidays are coming up so this is going to slow down for a while too.

I kinda expected that they would assign everyone their number by now, even if we had to wait to get the pistol.

[AR22]

CMP or not? Guy may just be using that falsely as a selling ploy. But it is awful. Bad refinish. Over blasted. If this is indeed a example, I think it is pretty bad. So for now I remain respectfully a "naysayer", till I see many, many more quality ones show up.

Yes some will get lucky, good for them. A lot will get crap. And they will not be proud of that, and they will not be showing the crappy ones to us either. Only the good ones will get shown off.

So you see one example that may or may not be from CMP and that translates to "A lot will get crap."?

Hate seeing buyers just flip these for a profit. CMP did say one pistol per person correct?

I think they have, but telling us all what it is is the time consuming part.

Yep.

How do you think he got the heat treat on the slide to show through the re finish?

[Nevada Hudson]

Basically, they ignore the C&R and it has to be sent to a FFL1, where you pay their" fees" and sales tax which adds up the price.

Heat treat always shows through new Parkerizing, just look at all the lead dipped garand heals

Yes 1 per person to prevent this behavior. He didn't even get a single bid so it was a failed "flip" for him

Yes, congrats!! And thanks for the update, it gives those of us still waiting some hope.

[bigbully]

Someone on the CMP forums made a projection graph based on current numbers drawn and calls made. According to that, number drawing will continue into March.

[EMR]

So people have an idea of their timeframe, I got a call today for payment info. I’m #2,171. Service grades are still available.

How did you just get the call at 2,171 when bigbully got his call at 3,451 over 3 weeks ago?

I got my number assigned back on Nov 16th. They called for payment today.

[rice_man]

Yes, my understanding is you get the e-mail with your random number generated listing. Then you get the follow up call several weeks later for payment confirmation.

I have not gotten my call. I only received my random generated number (via email). I don’t expect my call till late feb or March at this rate.

[EM2]

I still have not yet received a number, don't even know if they received my paperwork.

I really thought they would determine everyone's number and send them out by now.

[Vtgunner]

I just got my call from the CMP requesting the payment information. It was from Anniston AL and got it around 2:00 pm.

So I am hoping you are in the same boat as me, I have heard nothing from them, no email etc.

Same for you?

[SkyHawk]

I still got nothing, nada, zip.

[joefrank64k]

I’ve heard nothing, but the latest update says it may be March before everyone gets notified of their number.

[CessnaDriver]

I still haven't heard jack either.

[mrvaudo]

got the payment call on jan 10. my number was somewhere in the 2100s

[mcisniper]

I have had four come into the shop so far; two Remington Rand 1911A1s, one Ithica 1911A1 and one Colt 1911 (not an A1). They all looked good and correct (minus the CMP grips). All had been rearsenaled and the Ithica was had the heavy park. So far the Colt has checked out correct except for the barrel. Remember these guns were received from the Army and are not rebuilt by the CMP, just unboxed, checked over and sold. I have not see a Springfield yet. I'm waiting on mine, but I would not hesitate to purchase a piece of history.
