I turned out to be one of the lucky ones with an RNG of 8005 — which initially made me believe I was not going to get a 1911 this go around. AND CMPicon informed me at the time I got my RNG that I would not be able to buy one this year.

Imagine my surprise when in early August I "got the call". I chose a Service Grade for $1050.00

I received a nice tight Model 1911. Receiver and slide manufactured by Colt. The serial number shows the receiver was manufactured in 1918. The slide, also Colt, is a 1944 replacement. The parking matches, receiver and slide. The gun was obviously refinished, shows evidence of sandblasting and the stamping is less distinct than I would like, but love the gun any way. Good shooter!
