Fair market value CMP M1911???

Not to be a stickler but isn?t that kind of agreeing with someone else?s statement about them pretty much being worn out?

Not at all. Tens of thousands of these guns will go on to reliably function and provide useful service to their new owners in various roles, just like the tens of thousands (or more) M1s, 03s, various military revolvers, etc, did. You could hardly say the M-14 was worn out after it's short lifespan as the main battle rifle but it was replaced, too. I'd venture a guess that pretty much every one of these 1911s will function quite well.

Yup your right I can?t shoot. Don?t care. They are history. Plan and simple. Shot a shit ton of those in the military and there was a reason we turned them back in and went back to a M9 then to a Glock. Not gonna waste my time with you anymore. They are beautiful history. But history they are.

There are lots of legitimate things to complain about with these old guns. Like the pretty horrible (by today's standards) sights, hammer bite, etc. There are plenty of legitimate things to like about them, too.

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.

Same but when I went through the thread, I was seeing a few guys with numbers below 10000 that just got their numbers last week. The thread has closed so the latest info in it was dated Mar 7.

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.

We need more 1911 appreciation. Let's do this!

Feb 1918 Brooklyn Navy Yard (last M1911 Navy contract)




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.
