Not me, I'm c.4200, but @Parker Duofold is just over 1000 and could very well get a call this week. People are still reporting all three grades available.What did you get? Did they give you a choice?

I haven't received a call yet. I'm on hold with CMP right now trying to check the status of an ammo order which has been pending for 3 months. "Estimated hold time is one (1) minute" and that was 15 minutes ago.Not me, I'm c.4200, but @Parker Duofold is just over 1000 and could very well get a call this week.

My ammo order from 1/13/21 can 4/16/21I haven't received a call yet. I'm on hold with CMP right now trying to check the status of an ammo order which has been pending for 3 months. "Estimated hold time is one (1) minute" and that was 15 minutes ago.
Very nice, congratulations!I got the call from the CMP this morning at 10:45 AM. Talked to "Ally" and confirmed my email address, FFL information, CC info and what grade of 1911 I want (service grade.) She said that my order would be shipped this week and it would probably be at my FFL by Monday next at the latest. I'll update this thread as soon as more information is available and will also post some pictures. My number is 1075.
Update: 5 May 2021
CMP shipped to my FFL via FedEx overnight and I got the call to pickup at 10AM this morning. Here are some pictures that I took today. "Colt frame and GI replacement slide" it says. Fit is very good and the slide runs very smooth. Trigger quite heavy compared to a modern 1911 but these guns were meant to be carried and fired at the enemy and not paper targets. I'm sure you experts with tell me what I've got.
Large size pics attached.

Well, if I get a chance I will shoot it here in SC. Maybe go over to Palmetto State Armory and run an expensive box of .45 through this pistol. It came with a new magazine - Italian made Mec-gar 7 rounds. Tomorrow I will strip and clean. Only the slightest of an "idiot" mark on the gun. Just looked down the barrel with a light - it looks brand new.Range report sometime soon?
Very nice, Mec-Gar makes nice magazines. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots for you.Well, if I get a chance I will shoot it here in SC.

I tried poking around for reloading dies, but the few I could find were like $90+ for a set.Looks like I need a box of 45 and go shoot mine

Hint/help for a lefty that shoots right?

You could get it out of state with C&R IF the out of state seller is willing to deal with C&R and cmp ships.Unfortunately you are wrong. The new law was changes to MGL chap 140 only. It changed restrictions on dealers that existed in MGL 140. 940CMR16 is based on consumer safety law and it TOTALLY separate from MGL chap 140. It is regulations promulgated by the AG enabled by the consumer safety laws. The enabling law was not changed and the CMR was not changed so the CMR still applies. The only way the legislature could change the CMR would be to change the underlying law that enabled it or otherwise pass a law that specifically invalidated 940CMR16.
So no, you cannot get your CMP 1911 from a 01 or 07 even if CMP would ship it because the gun has not previously been sold commercially. Yes it sucks.
Is this subtlety something many MA Dealers will understand? Not a chance.
FWIW
If CMP recognizes your other state residency including you being a member of an approved club, then I am sure that works.You could get it out of state with C&R IF the out of state seller is willing to deal with C&R and cmp ships.
Those with dual residence could get this done?
Lucky for me, I had just finally decided on a rack grade last week and hadn’t even realized they ran out of service grades.Looks like CMP has run out of service grade...that's a big bummer...
The latest posts are stating they have only been offered field and rack grades.
Congrats, definitely need pics once you've got it, and a range report. I'm a little under 2000 away, so I'm guessing mid-July to mid-August.Lucky for me, I had just finally decided on a rack grade last week and hadn’t even realized the ran out of service grades.
If I want fresh park at some point, I can do that myself. I want mine to look like it just got found in a mud puddle behind enemy lines.
It looks like I’ll know soon enough what it looks like though because I just got the call today! Chose a rack grade and gleefully gave up my CC#.
I’m visiting family back in MA, so I won’t see it for another week and a half or more...but it definitely gives me a good reason to make it home safe.
Bring me one of those 8lb H4895's, willya?Lucky for me, I had just finally decided on a rack grade last week and hadn’t even realized they ran out of service grades.

That’s the one powder I can’t seem to get enough of. Haven’t looked in months, mind you...but I’m down to my last 20lbs, lol.Bring me one of those 8lb H4895's, willya?
