The barrels were chrome lined in the 60s and 70s to protect from rust caused by humidity and tropical conditions of Vietnam. Same thing was done with the M16 rifles.

Very nice! I have a WW1 1911 in a Shadowbox. I never shoot it, of course! It's just a preserved, piece of history. Cool video!

I am surprised someone didn't rake you over the coals for dry firing. John Browning, in his infinite wisdom, specially designed the firing pin so the pistol can be dry fired thousands of times with no damage to the main parts. The firing pin spring is the only part that might suffer damage. When I was in the army, I saw 1991A1 and M1 rifles dry fired thousands of times with no damage.

I have a WW1 Colt made in 1914 (no.6xxxx) ,I fired a few rounds (with hammer bite),and two Remington Rand's,but I don't shoot them anymore.I have modern ones for that.Real nice video.

Nice video, beautiful 1911A1.. I love the two tone. I started using "Break Free collector long term protection" it is another excellent storage oil.

11/172022 I received my CMP M1911a1 " Service grade " a 1943 Remington Rand frame and what I believed to be a NO NAME "GI rep" on the card slide. Thought I got a "mutt" BUT, BUT, BUT I FINALLY found out the GI slide (7990314) and barrel (.45 AUTO 7791193 85) were Colt manufactured National Match Hard Slide for a USAF contract.. certainly changed my opinion of the gun I received.

I just got my round 4 call yesterday, can't wait to put my hands on it. I ordered the service grade also.

The last half of 1945 we saw the transition to serrated parts; trigger, hammer, thumb safety, slide stop and MSH. Mine was a frankengun with all commercial parts except the frame which was the only WWII thing about it. Had I known that I would have bought from their auction for a 1911 with more correct parts. So I dumped it for a Colt 1911A1 WWII reissue. Much happier now.

Now that's what I'm talking about. lol Very nice 1911 James, a great representation of an old classic that can still be shot. I haven't had a 1911 since my Army days many years ago but still remember the nomenclature and the breakdown. Very reliable too.

Appreciate the history of your 1911 especially about the heat treatment👍

That’s a real treasure. Hell of a wait. Worth it.

I carried the M1911A1 45 caliber pistol for 12 years as an Military Police US Army; plastic grips.

Sweet old machine. Please show us more of your collection.

Nice one. Just FYI the heat treated part of the slide is the dark portion. Back then there was no way to heat-treat the entire slide without warping it, so the front end was heated then quenched in oil. In modern times new 1911s and replacement slides receive full heat treating.

Nice 1911 James, I have a rock island 1911 it shoots good for the price. Heck yeah show us the collection.

Enjoy,Carried one in 1974-77,MP CORP.

that is a beautiful pistol thanks

nice! ide consider this a win! its in much more sought after config than some of the ithica or rem rands with the imi replacement slides that are in great cosmetic shape so despite them being a less desirable config. is their a serial number under the firing pin retainer plate? nice score here!

Man, this is a great video. I was called on 6/30 and the gun was at my FFL on 7/7. I haven’t seen it yet, but I hope I’m able to get one like this that has a somewhat original finish. I’ve seen some of the CMP 1911’s that have a super heavy parkerization. I wish I could have chosen a particular model. Or maybe one that was in Marine Corps service. But still happy I got one nonetheless.

You got a museum piece.

Hi. I have a 1911a1 service grade from the CMP. Do you know what a service for trigger pull is? My trigger is REALLY heavy.

If I saw that bent lanyard ring stud, I wouldn’t be satisfied with the pistol. Everything else looks fine though. You should have called the CMP earlier about it, I bet they would make it right with you if you showed a picture of that when it arrived first thing. Thanks for sharing!

Did anybody sign up for round 3? They extended the deadline due to hurricane Ian. Hey slipjoint guy, about how soon did they contact you after the deadline? I guess I’m talking about the email with the rgn. And after that how soon did they call you? Thanks by the way!

Thank you for the safety check!

When you drew your weapon for duty,you gave the armourer a card,He referenced rack...issued your pistol.

Nice

Wow. I Let the first lottery slip by without submitting a package. I had to do IT the second time! I already got my gun. 25,xxxx lottery number. I haven't seen a new video in a while. Have they finished the second round already?

If it wasn't for you tube I would not have learned of the CMP lottery. Even so I learned after the second round had finished. I was maybe hoping to get in on the third round if there is one. My question is how did you get qualified? When I was young I had a USPSA membership (decades ago) and I let my Marine Corp League membership lapse too. According to what I read my VA id doesn't help. I looked at local shooting clubs and the only one in my vicinity that is not an ROTC is expensive. How do most people get qualified?

Shooting it isn't going to hurt it lmfao. That's what it's made for! But great find and love the grading choice.

Ithica 1911's had some differences than the Colts

How much you want for it

What was your CMP number?

Cyanide dipped frame for hardness

Walmart mineral oil is what S&W recommends not this expensive lubricants?

Nice but too expensive !

Rack 69

Field grade isn’t nearly as nice
