there was a story i read recently about a guy that got one through the recent cmp ordering, turns out a super rare version, more so than a singer, probably worth more than 30k. He hit the lottery.

Congrats! I, like a couple others here, got one on the first go-round.I haven't kept up with the current sales, are they offering different grades now? Really dig the Remington Rand I got.

Just checked in on the CMP 1911 forum. It appears the guys getting the call are being offered a choice of Service, Field or Rack grade. When I got mine, I wasn't offered a choice as they were all Service grades at that point. Pretty happy with what they sent. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Kz7YmwJg/IMG_5593.jpg)

I would have liked a bit more BTDT look also, but didn't have that option. If I remember correctly, most all of the first ones they received were rearsenaled, put in storage and never re-issued. Most were graded "service". Mine was done at Anniston Army Depot in 08/80. It's a Remington Rand slide and I think Ithaca frame (they used the same inspector mark, FJA). I think this second batch includes pistols that were issued again after rearsenaling hence the different grades available. It's interesting to browse through the CMP 1911 forum to see what people are getting.

I’m at the end of the list - so probably a Rack grade, but it’s good to be on the list.
I couldn’t buy a Rack grade equivalent at a local gun show for the same price - they’d all be priced higher! YMMV

There's content from purchaser/recipients on youtube. They look good to me.
