I got this in e-mail from CMP today. They're working on it. Its just gonna take some time.
1911 UPDATE - NOVEMBER 6TH
Our Random Number Generator (RNG) has selected random numbers for all the packets received. We are working on assigning those random numbers to the 19,000 packets we have received. This will take some time - PLEASE BE PATIENT! It may take 30-60 days to inform you of your random number. Please DO NOT CONTACT US ASKING WHAT YOUR NUMBER IS.
As we process orders, we will call customers as we work through the list.
**If your information has changed (you have moved or your FFL has gone out of business), please DO NOT CONTACT US. You may update us when your number is selected and we contact you.
WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ORDER PACKETS.
Everyone will be notified if their order packet was not accepted so please be patient and bear with us.
Currently, we do not have a date when we will begin auction sales. Once that is determined, we will update our customers
Please check our website for updates - 1911 Information - Civilian Marksmanship ProgramCivilian Marksmanship Program.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Patiently (!) waiting for an email in Colorado. Alternative plans (or in addition to a CMP 1911) include a Manurhin MR73 and a Fulton Armory FAR-15 A1. Patience is a virtue, yeah, right.
I sent mine in on 9/18 just to see if I got lucky. If not I will use the money I would have spend on this one on something else. No big deal really.

A retired FBI buddy of mine got a call. All they had were Service Grades, and they told him it would be at least 60 days before it shipped.
No call or email for me yet.

No joy for me either though I'm still optimistic. They have a long way to go.
This appears to be a change from what was posted previously.

Rather than open every packet and verify the paperwork is correct, which will take months, why not just send out the numbers generated by the random number generator, and advise everybody that if their number is reached and packet is wrong, then it will be discarded and next number called?
They have &000 guns. Some will go to auction. They got 19,000 packets. Say 2000 are wrong, which I doubt since people had months and probably double checked. But say that’s the number. New packets won’t sven be looked at until the initial list is exhausted. That’s gonna be a couple of years. Just let people know where they are already.
Depending on how many employees are opening 20,000 packets and checking each one, it’s gonna be a while.

Because then every halfwit who didn't win the lottery to buy a battered parts gun will complain loudly and frequently about how the CMP just threw out their appl'kashun.

Got an email Tuesday. Number 15xx! The only other lottery I won was in 1969! Sent to a beautiful island off the South Carolina Coast to train with the few and proud for an exciting senior trip to exotic lands, etc., etc..... should,hopefully, maybe, get an arsenal rebuild from Anniston Army Depot and relegated to wartime ready storage. Stay tuned for updates!

So let them complain. Who’s going to listen? The CMP sells every rifle they have. The 1911’s will be no different. Those who complain won’t affect that. If their paperwork was incorrect then they have nothing to complain about. They had months to quadruple check the paperwork. If they’re too stupid to follow directions then they’re too stupid to own a gun, anyway.

My buddy got his today.
1944 Colt serial number, unmarked slide.
He says the color difference between slide and frame is the result of a strong flash. In the hand they are much closer match.
He's delighted. I would be too. No joy from CMP for me yet. Oh well, somebody has to be number 19,000.

id rather have new springfield
For what it's worth, I just got an email that my number was in the 2900's. I'm encouraged! But then with my bureaucracy in the state of NJ, I now have to APPLY for a permit to purchase said 1911, in addition to needing my current and valid Firearms ID Card, for retrieving it, whenever (if) it ever becomes available to me!

Not me. I owned a 1911 once. A stainless remington. Nice gun but for punching paper I have 9MM and revolvers. I sold it.
But these 1911’s are history in tbe hand. Mine will be a perfect companion to my M1 Garands. Probably shoot 100 rounds a year through it. Might not even get reloading dies to load for it, I might shoot it that little. But I am gonna love owning one just as I do my Garands.

Got called on Friday, 11/30 for payment and confirmation of shipping information. Notified Monday that pistol being shipped Fedex overnight to FFL, arrived yesterday AM, FFL called, picked up from FFL. 1943 Remington-Rand that was rebuilt at Letterkenny Arsenal in 1985. Has a barrel with a CAGE number 45 auto, 85. From overall appearance, only rebuilt this one time. Very good bushing to barrel to frame fit. Good slide to frame fit as well. Will post pics when I figure out how. Bye the by, comes in a coyote pelican case, foam cut out for pistol and magazine, along with a very nice certificate with serial #, make and buyers name, cleaning rod, chamber flag and lock. Not a beater or rattle trap. One guy at the FFL offered me $1500 for it and didn’t bat an eye! I imgur.com/user/usmc13369

Interesting, one of our friends dad worked at Letterkenny in the 60’s to 80’s, they lived in Chambersburg PA.
Congrats to all that are scoring these historical arms.
I wouldn’t take a Wilson Combat for one.
