My CMP 1945 RRand frame, Colt slide has an interesting history as well. I did a FOIA with the Army but all kinds of Navy info showed up. Did a FOIA with the Navy- found out it was with the SEALs at Amphib base Coronado from '76 to '98 when it went to Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, IN until recently when it was sent to Anniston and then me. IMI replacement barrel from '85 which I replaced with a WW II Flannery which I found in a shop in the middle of nowhere in mint cond.

What grade did you go with?

@noahsimmons4107 10 ай бұрын

Sweet history man! Mine is also a 1945 remington rand frame with a GI replacement colt slide. Rebuilt at the Anniston Army Depot in June of 1973. Waiting on FOIA to come back in a week or so.

The 3/8 could be scribed for parts accountability at the armorer's work bench. 1 of 8, 2/8, 3/8 etc.

Certainly a possibility.

Someone got a Range Grade with Caspian slide, BarSto barrel, Novak rear sight, Dove tailed front sight. The RR frame is marked NM on the trigger guard, and checkering on the front and rear.

It's been many years since I competed in CMP, what does this sell for these days?

@HighCaliberHistoryLLC 9 ай бұрын

It depends on which grade you get, and each new round they post, the prices go up.

@branned 8 ай бұрын

@@randallhunsaker5766 My 1st Google was FOIA - Office of the Inspector General - Army. No answer! After more research, I found USARMY Redstone Arsenal which was a quick reply and some data. Sad this is not easy to find. I am on my 3rd FOIA this time to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)-Crane, Crane, Indiana as it has a Navy history. 12 August 2010 - Army General Supply (Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) Stock Records), Anniston, Alabama received the weapon from Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)-Crane, Crane, Indiana.

hi, I'm not aware and don't know anything about CMP. i still like the pistol. thanks

CMP is the Civilian Marksmanship Program and they are in charge of selling surplus guns to the public. Until the 1911s, it had all been rifles: M1903s, M1917s, M1 carbines, and M1 Garands.

@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC Years ago they surplused out .45's didn't they? I thought they did it years ago and then just quit because they ran out and the government didn't release any more to them until recently.

@HighCaliberHistoryLLC 11 ай бұрын

The DCM, which was the CMP's predecessor, sold 1911s between 1958 and 1967. The GCA of '68 put a stop to it.

@dukecraig2402 11 ай бұрын

@@HighCaliberHistoryLLC Yea, I knew they did years ago (I actually still call them the DCM out of habit) but I never knew it was the GCA of '68 is what stopped it, I just figured they ran out and the military just never released any more to them. Wasn't there a bunch of demilled M14's that were part of this shipment of M1911's they released to them that were slated to be destroyed courtesy of the Clinton administration?

@HighCaliberHistoryLLC 11 ай бұрын

GCA put an end to mail order guns, so they had to stop. I'm not sure about the M14s though. Hadn't heard about that.
