Most, if not all of the CMP 1911’s have been re-Arsenaled at one time or another if not more than once. They will be mixmasters! Only Lady Luck will net you a “as issue” original. Odds are like 1/1000. But,,,,,,, that’s why there were 19,000 packets sent in.
When I was in high school in the early ‘70’s, I worked at a gun shop in Anniston, Al. Several of our “regulars” worked at the small arms maintenance facility at Anniston Army Depot. One even built me my first 1911 from an Essex frame and Remington-Rand slide circa 1973. (I provided the parts, he built it at home. Even their lunch boxes were searched entering and leaving, daily.).
They often spoke of the management “cherry picking” the guns for “issue” guns for generals and other dignitaries. Most were already barely functioning by end of Vietnam era. Most were rebuilt from parts removed from “junk” guns.
Yes, the CMP is sending out the best available. Again, assembling decent “serviceable” firearms from parts. YMMV.
Check out the CMP forum for yourselves. I understand the best of the best, like the .30carbines, will be auctioned.
