they'll be a variety in the batch, and each pistol will more then likely be made up of a variety of parts (e.g. Colt frame with Remington Rand slide etc).
It's like a box of chocolates...
I suspect any "all correct" and/or interesting guns will be pulled for auction...
From the American Rifleman article:
"One Remington-UMC Model of 1911 discovered among the many Colts aroused great excitement. "
note - the Rem-UMC shown has been parkerized and not original finish, grips, or hammer, and the "AA" (Augusta Arsenal) rework mark is clearly stamped on the frame

Just make sure your transferring FFL knows C&R is exempt. Some FFLs don't seem to know this.
Anyone hear how many apps they actually received? Are they going to send each person thier random generated number?

they will go down the list calling in order of number. If you don't get called they ran out of 1911's before they got to your number and you will have to wait on the next round if there is one
Gotcha, it would be nice to know where one stands on the list though.

Their site originally said they'd email you your random number.

Now they are saying they will have everyone's random number generated Oct 18th to give time for "mis-routed mail" date on or before Oct 4th to make it there.

The "5 Oct. 18" is the date they originally planed on they don't give a new date just "a few days" for the mail to show up.
CMP website stating 17,000+ packets received. Looking at ~30 Days before calls and/or emailing begin.

They already have about 8,000 1911's so the odds are better than I expected and if they get another allotment of the authorized (up to) 10,000 per year then everyone who sent in a packet should get one.

Yes, partly; partly that people get incensed that CMP can't help them fix issues; partly that people seriously ask the dumbest, most basic questions; and partly that viewing that thread caused me to view all of the other threads in that forum and the amount of D-U-M dumb is pretty astounding.
