I'm going to rebuild mine and shoot it then.
Going back to post #67 all of the 1911s being sold directly (non auction) were referbished in 1978, packaged up in to crates and stored ever since. Not rattle ans and no need to rebuild.

The ones being auctioned came from the Army museum system amd consist of rare/hard to find models.
Highest number I saw on the CMP Forums was 18999 and I still haven't got my RNGP yet.
^^ I was starting to think I screwed up my packet somehow and wasn't going to get a number. Be patient, I guess. They'll get there.
For the 1911 junkies, thought I'd share. No rebuild marks. All internal parts are correct/original as far as I can tell. Shipped to SA March 1918. I don't even remember where I got it.

My RNG number is 11075, just got the email a week or two ago.
Nice. You'll definitely get one when the next batch is released.
We need more 1911 appreciation. Let's do this!Quote:

Here she is with her M1917 JMG inspected sister. Haven't quite figured out how to load these .45ACP revolvers. Mags don't fit!!!

Ratty old M1911A1 1943 shipped GHD "S" marked. Looks like a repro but it's not. Paid way too much. POS barely shoots. Don't understand how they beat Hitler with this crap.

Damn, Skip... That's some nice hardware! I suspect a few forum members have some amazingly nice pieces. hope to see more here.
I do have this one, too, but it's obviously a repro. It's fun to fondle, though.

These nice guns make me appreciate my beat up war gun even more.
