Sitting at 14xxx, probably next summer.
I picked it up today. I'm sorry to say that I'm a bit disappointed. After seeing the pictures of the beautiful fresh from the arsenal rebuilds other people got, mine looks like it fell out of some weary G.I.'s holster.
Just proves that not all of the CMP 1911s are perfect. Some have been well used.
Its a 1942 Colt frame with an Ithica slide.
Finish is about 80% with some noticeable wear and scratches. Yeah, it has an idiot scratch too. The #1 is painted on the grips.However the bore is perfect. So while it has seen some serious use, its seems to have been well taken care of.
While it is a mix master, I noticed that there are no arsenal rebuild marks on it. I wonder if there's any significance to that?
Oh well, Its worth what I paid and I could probably sell it tomorrow for a profit. But I'm gonna keep it.
What with the weather and my current schedule, I have no idea when I'll get it shoot it. But don't worry, I will.
