CMP Ramping up for 1911s
- Thread starter kev74

Clarification - CMP 1911 Information - December 5, 2017
Thousands of Army Surplus 1911's MAY be sold - eventually.
John McCain (may he RIP - as soon as possible) wanted them all melted down.
But they still exist, with fairly onerous "paperwork" involved to get in the running.
Considering CMP is generally not inexpensive, and quality is a genuine crap shoot, I'll be out of the game here.
But it's nice to know that, at least for know, history won't be turned into scrap for China.

I meant the 'soon as possible' part. Still laughing from that!

Two NICS checks. Stupid! How are they going to do that? Mail you a 4473 to return to them?

Two isn't enough! What if one of them is done wrong. You need at least four NICS checks. And they have to be a week apart.
Man I'd love a WWII (or even I???)-era 1911 to go with my Garand, but not at these prices and this much paperwork.
"3) proof of participation in a marksmanship activity,"
is particularly funny.
I'd not be counting on hitting the bullseye with any firearm that old - and likely that worn.

Have you seen any CMP guns - Garands, M1 Carbines, 03 Springfields or older surplus 1911s?
Unless they're sold for parts, they are fully functional and as accurate as when they were current issue.

Any guess as to pricing for the better condition pistols?

Nope.
I'm hoping my budget can cover a beater from the 70s. I don't expect to be able to afford WWI or WWII vintage.

Use the money for a DanWesson, i happen to have one listed for sale ...yes shameless plug
AND M1 garands. And M1 carbines.
CMP has shit guns?
I'll be fair.
I've not dealt with CMP, nor do I personally know anyone who has.
But I need to be very concerned when ANY seller sells me an item, sight unseen, AS-IS with no option of a Return.
In my experience, Sellers who operate that way do so for a very good reason. Good for THEM, that is.
