I'm currently waiting for my Round 4 CMP. I have a Round 3 service grade 1943 Remington Rand M1911A1 with a GI replacement slide (from USAF National Match Hard slide contract). The Army Odrnance crossed canons have an "MR" over strike for Mount Rainier Arsenal. No other arsenaling indicators. Roll marks and inspection initials are legible. I am very satisfied with this one. My lady, through her service organization, was eligible and received a SPLENDID Colt frame and Remington Rand slide that rivaled auction level pieces I had seen. She wanted a 1911A1 from that era to honor her deceased husband, who was a P.O.W. in WWII. As a waist gunner on B-17, he was shot down on his first mission over Germany surviving over two years in captivity.
That discoloration is the result of "fast tracking" the manufacture of the slides for the 1911s during that period. These slides were cyanide-dipped at the front end and at the rear to harden them. I would hold the same for the bi-coloured magazines.
I genuinely think buying a Tisas 1911A1 ASF is the better route than buying one of these for most people. The tisas is a true replica of the Remington Rand WWII contract pistols and it costs a whopping $400 new.
I brought both M-1911 Colt and Remington Rand in 1986 and Remington Rand for $325.00 in original excellent shape. When I took it to the range a lots of ex-military person keep question me at the range with simple question "Is this gen legal?" I brought with my FFL collector license but not registered with the state to my permit.
I just got a call today from cmp for the 4 round and the service grade pistols where available. And thats what i got. They are 1250, hopefully it will be nice.
Informative video!! However i have 2 that i obtained in the last 5 years that are in original condition without being re armored!! 1st generation Colt 1917 and a 1944 Ithaca with a colt frame.
@IronSights yea, I was shocked that the service grade was available. I should here something next week, they shipped it overnight on Thursday to my ffl. I'll let you know
All these videos about pistols made 40 to 60 years ago like they are the holy grails. 1911 pistols are not high value, they were demand made to thump that which they did and still do. I have a 1911 that was made in 1959 and a Tisas bought 1 year ago.They both go bang so that’s it with a good cleaning and oil job.
1. ANAD 4 73 = Anniston Army Depot April 1973. Anniston Army Depot is the designated Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for tracked and wheeled ground combat vehicles (minus Bradley), towed and self-propelled artillery, assault bridging systems, individual and crew served small caliber weapons and locomotives, rail equipment and non-tactical generators. 2. You incorrectly disassembled your 1911. Always wear eyepro. Pull slide to the rear. Set pistol vertically. Push in Barrel Bushing and rotate clockwise while pushing in the Guide Plug, so it does not fly out. Remove Guide Plug and Recoil Spring etc.
Howdy Mike round 4 nice i got my RNG number 43523 .your number must have been a bunch lower. I got my first one in round 2 and it was a beauty service grade.. all colt. What was your RNG # ? Thanks for showing .. your the first video i have seen on the round 4 1911's cool. I subed ya too ... RUSTY
Question so when you go get the form notarized does the notary public person have to look at all the forms or just the one they need to sign and stamp?
Nicely done video! One of the best videos on CMP 1911 pistols on RUclips, along with the one Hebe’s Guns and Gear made where he shows an all original Ithaca 1911A1 that was a U.S. Navy issue, and was documented to have been on an LST in WWII in the Pacific. ruclips.net/video/di6xWHQXcXo/видео.htmlsi=vUVQaoy6XoRtBNGI

Great story and way to honor him!!
With these kinds of guns it is nice when they have some wear and blemishes. It speaks to the fact that the weapon has real history.
That discoloration is the result of "fast tracking" the manufacture of the slides for the 1911s during that period. These slides were cyanide-dipped at the front end and at the rear to harden them. I would hold the same for the bi-coloured magazines.
Thanks for the info Rex
I've handled hundreds and hundreds of these guns. Never thought of having a chance to own one. Now I want one for so many reasons.
Nice pistols, I got a Colt frame and Colt slide in round 1. I sent my packet in on September 2. Glad to see the CMP is starting to ship.
Just upset prices jumped 20%, but on the bright side I forgot to mention they ship overnight which is cool!
Carl, that's a sharp looking 560 diesel.
That's alot of history on that table of yours.
Very cool
Thanks for watching
I believe you have a Type 3 slide on your Field Grade. The roll marks extend almost to the slide serrations on a Type 2.

The discoloration isn't abnormal. It has to do with how they hardened that slide, and how the parkerizing takes to it. You'll see it on lots of them.
Actually you're wrong!! It's where the steel came from!! Especially from Israel!!
I just received my call for round 4, I chose the service grade, I can't wait to get my hands on it. I would never sell it.
Wow im jealous, service grade was not available for me!
@IronSights yea, I was shocked that the service grade was available. I should here something next week, they shipped it overnight on Thursday to my ffl. I'll let you know
Great video idea, I know these are worth it but who wants to buy a gun they can’t see?
I got mine and it is awesome
Your not supposed to sell it. It says on paper work they are not for resale. I am waiting on my round 4 pistol , it's driving me crazy waiting.
The barrels on your 1911s are chrome-lined.
No they're not!!
Damn I would like to have one but don’t know how to get one. Probably can’t afford one.

Hi Rusty, love your videos. I got a round 3 and it's my most treasure gun.
@@lavida57 Thanks for watching

They are just basically verifying your name to your Id
@@IronSights ok thanks
I would rather have 5 tokarevs then 1 1911 for the same price. I made my choice.
