I sat out Round 1 & 2 but was impressed enough from what I saw I decided to participate in Round 3 even with the price increase.
Sent my packet in September 1st and received my RGN email on October 3rd. I received a call from CMP on October 5th and requested a Service Grade. I received a ship notice email on October 6th and picked it up from my local FFL on October 7th. Based on what I was seeing from Round 1 & 2, Round 3 is moving along quite swiftly.
The serial number indicates a RR frame and it has a Colt slide. The barrel appears to be a 1985 replacement. Otherwise, I couldn't tell you how "correct" the other parts may or may not be, but it is in very nice condition.
I have purchased about a dozen rifles through the CMP in the past 20 years and have never been disappointed, the 1911 program did not disappoint either.
