Sold through the Civilian Marksmanship Program, this CMP Program 1911 represents a documented U.S. arsenal rebuild. The Remington Rand frame dates to 1943 and features the mid-war 'NO.' serial prefix style, paired with a Colt-marked slide and a GI 7791193 replacement barrel. This is a classic mixmaster configuration typical of government overhauls.
It wears a uniform gray Parkerized finish on both frame and slide and retains correct GI features: a short trigger, spur hammer, arched mainspring housing with lanyard loop, and brown checkered plastic grips. Sighting equipment is the fixed GI pattern with a small blade front and simple notch rear.
Markings include FJA ordnance acceptance initials and UNITED STATES PROPERTY on the frame, M1911 A1 U.S. ARMY, and 45 AUTO on the barrel. The 7791193 drawing number indicates a U.S. military replacement barrel, aligning with the documented rebuild history.
Chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel and 7+1 capacity, this full-size 1911 preserves the mechanical layout of its WWII-era lineage: single-action, semi-automatic, locked-breech operation on a carbon steel frame. It is a straightforward, service-correct example with CMP provenance and period-correct components.
