I received a nice Service grade Colt in round 2. Reparked, replacement barrel, small replacement parts. Looks great. I really wanted an original parts specimen, so I went Field grade this time. I did not want any replacement slide. I got what I wanted, original finish. The Colt slide looks almost like worn bluing. |

RGN 44001, contacted yesterday. Theee grades available, Service, Field, and Rack. Chose a service. The Wife wanted "a pretty one". I wanted a Field, but there's no promise Service grade will be available when she gets contacted. So, she'll get a Field or Rack and we'll trade. I received a Field Grade in Round 2.
Got the shipping notice this morning. |

Navy FOIA back. Looks like it spent most of its time at Subic Bay, before going to Crane and then Anniston.

Friend FOIA’d his CMP pistol. It turned out it was aboard USS Alabama until 1997, then NSWC Crane until 2009.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By glenn_r: Update: received my FOIA. Am I reading this correctly, it was sent to CMP/Anniston from the NSWC/Crane? If so, I wonder what it was doing there, and what it did before that. Any way to find out more?  Attached FileI sent a request to the Navy FOIA office in January. Two days ago I received their response, with records for a different serial number (not the serial number I requested). I'll try again.

Picked mine up today. I may have lucked out. Slide is Remington Rand. The frame has FJA (I think) under the slide stop, a P on the right by the magazine release, and is NO. for the serial number. From what I've seen that means a Remington-Rand frame too. SN is 1943/1944 manufacturer range.

The trigger guard has three markings: a 6 on the left front , a K right front, and a Z right rear. Rebuild marks are 2 or three letters, right? |

They don’t assemble pistols. They pop open a crate grade what is inside, then contact buyers and offer grades. One or more crates may be filled with service grades then next couple rack grade etc. no rhyme or reason |

Serial number puts it within the last 50K produced by RR in 1945. Will see how the finishes look side by side when I get home with the Colt/RR Service grade I got two weeks ago and maybe swap slides.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Got the field grade to the range and it shot nice! About 15 yards to target. The only issue was no last round hold open. The follower was going above the slide stop on all 5 of my mags. I'll find a replacement for it as it measured shorter than my others.
Rounds circled in green are from my UZI.

RGN of 4437X, RR/RR field Grade. I'm not a huge 1911 aficionado but from what Ive collected its correct frame/slide/bbl and likely not been refinished.

Kind of neat foia - It went from Robins AFB in Georgia in March of '93 to CV-66, and then stayed on the America until April of 1996, which is 4 months before it was decommissioned. |
