As some of you know last year the CMP announced that they were getting 1911's returned from the military and would offer for sale to the civilian market. The Department of the Army authorized a shipment of up to 10,000 pistols but it is believed 8,000 or so were received for sale.

Last year in September I sent in my packet to try to purchase one. Well, it has been a year and a month and today I got the call that my pistol will be shipped to me today.

I cannot wait to see what I will get; Colt, Ithaca, Remington Rand, US&S. Will it be a true 1911 or a 1911a1

I will post photos once I get it picked up.

Stewbaby,

I understand your attraction to the 03's and the 03a3's. Have you been following the CMP forum? There have been some nice examples of both at the store over in Anniston. I have thought of making a trip there.

Before I got my number called I was planning to put a strong bid on this one. I have bought from these people before and been satisfied.
Have to add 10 percent and 25 dollar ship

Look at Gunrunner auctions. It ends tomorrow night
