can't imagine any SF operator would like that rear sight. Interesting history! thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My CMP 1945 RRand frame, Colt slide has an interesting history as well. I did a FOIA with the Army but all kinds of Navy info showed up. Did a FOIA with the Navy- found out it was with the SEALs at Amphib base Coronado from '76 to '98 when it went to Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, IN until recently when it was sent to Anniston and then me. IMI replacement barrel from '85 which I replaced with a WW II Flannery which I found in a shop in the middle of nowhere in mint cond.
What grade did you go with?
Sweet history man! Mine is also a 1945 remington rand frame with a GI replacement colt slide. Rebuilt at the Anniston Army Depot in June of 1973. Waiting on FOIA to come back in a week or so.
Someone got a Range Grade with Caspian slide, BarSto barrel, Novak rear sight, Dove tailed front sight. The RR frame is marked NM on the trigger guard, and checkering on the front and rear.
Nice!
The 3/8 could be scribed for parts accountability at the armorer's work bench.
1 of 8, 2/8, 3/8 etc.
Certainly a possibility.
I regret not selecting “Range Grade”😢
I'm really glad that I waited until Round 3 to put my application in.
Mine was with 10th SFG 3rd battalion A company
Nice!
These surplus 1911 pistol are old made cheap but they work. Just like the new ones I have by Springfield & Tisas made in the last 7 years. The 1911 is a 100 years old design some are trying to over value for profit. I say if it goes bang it’s good.
I’ve applied for my 1911 a month ago, so how long did it took them to contact you?
It took 3 months to get my RGN then another 2 months to get the call.
it took them exactly 90 days to contact me, i chose a field grade , sent the payment and going on week 3 now waiting. I sure hope it is a good one ! Today is 10 Sept 2023
Wow i got mine on the2nd round. wish they had them then. How much were the range grade ? Thanks for showing.
1100
$1100 thats a good deal ..mine round two was $1050@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC
It's been many years since I competed in CMP, what does this sell for these days?
It depends on which grade you get, and each new round they post, the prices go up.
Good stuff pretty interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC hopefully you find out what was going on with it. But with those modifications it pry went somewhere.
@@justinmishler6758 I've got my fingers crossed that someone can shed some light on it.
@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC I would too lol
@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC pretty cool nonetheless
hi, I'm not aware and don't know anything about CMP. i still like the pistol. thanks
CMP is the Civilian Marksmanship Program and they are in charge of selling surplus guns to the public. Until the 1911s, it had all been rifles: M1903s, M1917s, M1 carbines, and M1 Garands.

Years ago they surplused out .45's didn't they?
I thought they did it years ago and then just quit because they ran out and the government didn't release any more to them until recently.
The DCM, which was the CMP's predecessor, sold 1911s between 1958 and 1967. The GCA of '68 put a stop to it.
@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC
Yea, I knew they did years ago (I actually still call them the DCM out of habit) but I never knew it was the GCA of '68 is what stopped it, I just figured they ran out and the military just never released any more to them.
Wasn't there a bunch of demilled M14's that were part of this shipment of M1911's they released to them that were slated to be destroyed courtesy of the Clinton administration?
GCA put an end to mail order guns, so they had to stop. I'm not sure about the M14s though. Hadn't heard about that.
My FOIA report starts in 1975
What FOIA link did you fill out?
Through the main FOIA website
what actual department did you request it from? thanks
@@randallhunsaker5766 My 1st Google was FOIA - Office of the Inspector General - Army. No answer! After more research, I found USARMY Redstone Arsenal which was a quick reply and some data. Sad this is not easy to find. I am on my 3rd FOIA this time to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)-Crane, Crane, Indiana as it has a Navy history. 12 August 2010 - Army General Supply (Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) Stock Records), Anniston, Alabama received the weapon from Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)-Crane, Crane, Indiana.
My RR/RR CMP is marked LEAD
Letterkenny! Nice!
First 😎
Boom 💥
Is that why my comment hurt your feelers?
No hurt feelings at all.
