One of my garands had a note from Audie Murphy… another had “PFC Lee Marvin” carved into the stock.

What causes the clip to not seat and then having to slightly pull the oprod back to realese it to send the bolt foward ?

I found a price tag for 25.00 in my buttstock of my garand lmao

Just replaced mine with the wrapped ones like u got but now the clip goes in fine and locks but the bolt doesnt release. If i pull the bolt back slightly and release it it drops fine and then i slap it into place or really push it into the chamber

Beautiful piece of history. But please go buy a replica 1911 A1 for heavy shooting and competition. Those pistols are almost 100 years old. They’re a collectors piece. Don’t wear it out. You can buy a Tisas 1911 A1 US army clone that is extremely accurate to the real deal. They cost $400 bucks and you can put thousands of rounds through it.

I bought a few of these post war Bullet Guides in the wrap to have to have. The accelerator point is higher and matches the peened one I have. But I am finding that they don’t seem to fit inbeween the receiver legs and are wider than my older bullet guide. My receiver is a 1943 Springfield.I was expecting it to drop in. I have only opened the one. If this a part that needs fitting or are post war receivers a little wider? I tool a file to it but am so so at fitting things and it is slightly off so harder to get the pin in. But it does time right. Curious if this should even need fitting.

What you're getting yourself into? It's the luck of the DRAW, you're getting an 80year + old military surplus pistol. A piece of history, nothing more!

Is there any way to time it for correct operation with a 5 round clip? Lets leave it at my state wont allow more than 5 rounds. When I push down the 5 rounder it neither locks in place or sends the bolt forward. I have to hold the clip with 1 thumb and give the oprod a tug with the other hand and release so it strips the first round. If a traditional 8 round clip is used, its perfect. If it is what it is, that's fine but I was just curious

what a beauty....a 1911

A few months ago I received a CMP Expert grade M1 and was surprised at the low serial number 24XXX. I shot several clips of Grand approved ammo and had the 7 th round jam on every clip. Cleaning, lub, different maker of clips solved the issue. Believe it or not, I also felt everything was too tight and needed more shooting to loosen a few things up. In your video I notice your rifle has the same “dimple” on the top of the recall repair as mine. I wonder why the dimple is there.

Mine shoots a round and spits out the clip with the ammo??

Question, my oprod will not release when a clip is fully inserted, unless I manually pull the charging handle back, any solution to that? Is it also a bullet guide issue?

Those issues are the same ones that I had on my modern series 80 Colt competition 1911. Go figure. Interested to see what the CMP will send my way when my number gets called. Poorly fit safety and barrel link.

You never do tell the price of it so everyone will know

awesome video thank you thank you.

I just sent my forms in. I don’t care what grade I get, I’m shooting it.

Great video Sir, I’m purchasing it because I want something coming out of the Army, I retired from the Army and want something a soldier once carried. I would probably change a lot of the internals just to be safe. Take care and appreciate your videos.

Chamber flags? Omg. I can tell the government got to you.

Funny thing, I just bought a m1 garand from the CMP, and it was having the same timing issues you describe. As I examined the mechanics of it it seemed like the hump on the bullet guide was a little too high, and I confirmed it with my calipers. I filed and stoned a small amount off the hump, and now the timing is perfect. I wonder if maybe it was the same case for your rifles. Maybe the CMP is using brand new bullet guides that haven't been fit to the rifles yet, and thats why the timing is off. If you still have the bullet guides that came with your rifles, maybe try taking a little material off and see if the timing is corrected....

I have a #384,xxx Springfield and I sometimes get the seventh round misfeed. But mine seems to be from short cycling. I have some new parts coming and I'm going to get the piston and gas cylinder checked.

I got a M1 from the CMP and 80% of the time the clip ejects itself with ammo still left in the clip.

I found a note in my Cetme rifle parts kit, if anyone wants to see it msg me.

Bought an original colt 1943 pistol with much of the original finish and all parts, tight, tight, tight for fifteen hundred. That pistol is very worn, little if any finish and like you said, a mix master. I like it, but then again i like ALL 1911's!

The Newest US soldier rifle is a drone rifle that the soldier can operate remotely. It can navigate anything but water currently. It currently has a 20 round capacity And auto retracts Its path when empty. It can navigate ditches and rocks with a little trouble at all. The US Leads weapons research continuously.

better get that thumb out of the way of the bolt ! it will hurt !

Just a note. The feed ramps on these pistols willl not feed hollow points. I have one Remington Rand Slide and Ithica Frame. A good strait shooter and runs well. Great buy.

Looks just like the ones I was issued and carried in the late 70s thru the mid 80s.

Nice gun dude. So what you got is a pre 1918 slide. If the frame was a Colt you'd have a treasure. However the frame is is probably WW -2 early 2 generation because you have a short trigger.

I agree with you these guns are not daily shooters but collectibles. I wish I could get more. Nice piece with history. I have an RGN for round 4. Hope I get a good choice.

My RGN 10838 and received a fie;d grade Ithaca 1944 slide and frame. Very happy!

take the bullet guide and a small ball peen hammer and tap it on the point of the guide to beef up the tip.

get a timing block

Great video! I just got my number assigned, so hoping to get a call soon. I know it is a bit pricey, but I think it is a good investment given the popularity and history. Good luck everyone!

dont forget to also make sure your using surplus enblocs and not the crappy repro ones because they also will make it seem like your timing is off.

You are giving information that's available elsewhere. But you take time to explain and show it. Thanks for making this video.

I'd like to find a way to make the clips easier to bottom out. Seems to take a good amount of force.

You wait until minute 12 to tell us that you arent a 1911 guy...

How common is this lighter parkerization on these CMP 1911's? Was it a certain branch or period that were issued these? Seems like most are the dark finish.

Just received (11/17/22) my CMP "Service " grade.. GRATEFUL for CMP and the work they do. My snit is his "field grade" is more "genuine " than mine. The slide on mine is tagged "GI Rep" on a Remington Rand frame serial number in late 1943 production, a late model magazine. There is no way to determine when the slide was joined to the frame or who manufactured it. This questions the authenticity and any subsequent value. SO, it now becomes a "shooter" not an "investment " relic in the gun locker. I'll STILL enjoy having it. CHANGE 1. I found out that NO NAME reproduction slide is a genuine Colt made National Match Hard slide with a chrome lined barrel (.45 AUTO '85). Certainly changed my opinion of my pistol and THANKS CMP.

How long was it from whenever they stopped taking orders until you received your email with the rgn?

Shes a legend bub

Super informative and just well done video Mine is a 1944 re barreled in 1945 Posted it on My UA-cam today Its interesting but no note Thats just Epic!!! Great video

Or you can just hold charging handle

Love your pistol, but the video. The focus is in and out, and in and out. All the time. Please keep a constant distance between the lens and the object. Try not do Macro on the fly, because the focus will be shifting. Sorry, my eyes are getting tired from watching this. Practice makes it prefect. I'm sure your future videos will be better.

SOUND is so low ,it is impossible to discern what is being said. I was very interested but I now disenguage, and move to a different site.

My clip shoots out with rounds in it while I’m firing

I never knew that Justin Tradeau owned a 1911
