When I was an infantryman in the 70’s every 1911 in our armory looked just like yours with no finish left .
I received a call from the CMP this morning regarding my application. Only two grades, field and rack, were available. I selected the field grade.
My dealer's FFL is on its way. We shall see what shows up in a few days.
Received my 1911a1 last week after sending in my packet for the 2nd round Jan. 4th.
Recieved a nice Remington Rand frame with G.I. replacement "hard slide" and a neat chrome lined israeli contract barrel. Pistol has Springfield Armory and Anniston Armory rebuild marks.
Took it out and shot it and it functioned fine and was pleasingly accurate.
The CMP folks are great to deal with. I really never expected them to ever offer 1911s again....thanks to everyone who made it happen.
The Tisas is a well made clone. The Turks make very good firearms. Nato members, they are reknowned for their prowess in battle. During Korea, while other units were trying not to draw undue attention to their positions, the Turks would light huge bonfires in front of their lines to draw an attack. Im sure they well appreciate a good 1911a1.
Glad you like it. Wonder if any of us will live long enough to see the government turn the surplus M-9's loose.
