Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
That is awesome guys!!! I held off on submitting an order as I did not have the funds available. Perhaps when the next round of sales come around I will be in a better position.
Thanks for the photos and again awesome for you!!

Gunsport in Boulder has one on its Gunbroker account that has been bid-up to $1700.
Based on my random number that was assigned to my packet I wasn't supposed to get one in the current draw but low and behold I got a phone call today saying I have a week to reply.. Looks like I'm getting one after all!
Now I just need to make sure my FFL is still around, haven't dealt with him in a couple years.
Outta the blue, got a call from the CMP store in Alabama. My 1911A1 is ready...just need to update a little paperwork. Excited!

Almost a 2 year wait but I finally have it in my hands. The CMP gods have smiled upon me!
Colt slide, Colt frame, looks like a new Colt GI barrel. Frame and slide do not match. Frame serial number dates it to 1945. I haven't looked up the slide SN but it's much earlier in the SN range. It's in excellent condition overall. Everything functions and safety checks as it should. Looks like it was arsenal rebuilt at the Anniston Army Depot in December of 1975. Aside from some dried grease (looks like brown spots) on the slide and around the mag release button it's exceptionally clean. It came with a MecGar magazine instead of a GI mag but that's no big deal.
For those naysayers...this is not a "shot out rattle trap". From what I've seen from others who've received these pistols it's just the opposite. These guns are basic, military models but they are good to go. I'm gonna head over to the range in a bit to try it out.

Put 100 rounds thru it. Only issue, aside from a bloody web of my right hand, was the very first round I tried to chamber failed to go completely into battery. A tap on the slide fixed that. No other failures. It probably is capable of better than what the picture shows but I haven't fired a round in over a year. Operator error.
