I drug my feet on the first two rounds and for quite a while on round 3 as well. Missing the first two rounds was costly, as CMP raised their prices quite a bit.
I am finally putting a packet together and submitting it. I am not a 1911 or military rifle collector, but I definitely appreciate the historical significance behind the issued pistols and one would be a nice companion to my 1903s and M1s.
I am a bit lost when it comes to which grade to pick, assuming I even have a choice when my number comes up. My thought is that I need to leave the pistol as it comes, other than perhaps replacing a recoil spring. Its hard for me to leave well enough alone, of course.
To me, the value is the hands the gun has been through and the places it may have been.
Anyway, wish me luck and when it finally shows up, please help me understand what I have.
Andy
P.S. Being retired mil really simplifies all CMP firearm purchases.
