So, I read joker's post. Is the CMP completing the NCIS BEFORE contacting us?? Or do they run it AFTER speaking with us on the phone???

When I called I was told my NICS was already completed. It was then a matter of picking, all grades were available to me, I selected Service. It came the next day, all Colt, dated to 1944, per colts lookup. It’s in Great shape, definitely refinished, with a replacement contract barrel, which from the markings and timeframe is likely Colt. I have yet to strip, clean and lube it and will do so before I fire it.
I agree, that a Field grade that was not refinished and showing some wear, would have also been a nice pick. I’m happy with my Service grade.
