Here's hoping this will sneak by Obama somehow.

Most would be rebuilders.
More of a “hanging piece” than a good shooter...

I have read that the Army rebuilt them before they went into storage.

Correct.
They were rebuilt with parts from other US 1911s.

probably no sneaking here....they've put qualifications on buying the weapons
The chief operating officer of the Civilian Marksmanship Program in Anniston tells WVTM 13 in order to buy a pistol, you must meet four requirements.
You must be a U.S. citizen,
have proof of membership to a CMP club,
have marksmanship safety training,
and successfully pass a background check.

There is a good chance he doesn’t have direct control over the CMP (IIRC).
Of course, he could get on the phone and tell his military subordinates to “forget it”.
Wonder if Rogers is up for reelection?

He has control over EVERYTHING in this government.
The FCC is allegedly independent. But when he got on YouTube and told them to get their mind right on Net Neutrality, they pulled a 180 and they did.

I have a nice stock all original Remington Rand built in late 43. A good reliable shooter and not in the least inaccurate. It would be a crime to modify it in any way. It is history. There are plenty of cheap non military shooters out there to modify. I’m sure mine has seen arsenal work but both the slide and frame are RR and who knows .... It might have been used in WW2 Korea and Vietnam.

Same requirements as to buy a CMP M1 Garand.

Here's hoping this will sneak by Obama somehow. It could easily slip by zippy since he doesn't do any presidential biz anyhoo. But doubtless one of the sycophants he's hired to take care of presidential biz will catch it. Then the potus will announce that he's helping protect Americans from themselves by cancelling the deal.
Sort of the way klintoon did with surplus M14s.

Some of these pistols may have had thousands of rounds put through them. It is the difference between a vintage car and the same model with 100,000 miles on it.

You must be a U.S. citizengood luck with that requirement standing.

Today I was looking on YouTube for a video link to a ripped episode of Trailer Park Boys... I found a video, but there in front of God and everyone it was saying click here to pay $1.99 to view this content.
It was only a matter of time, I suppose.

Well, as the good ole BATFE says, “Once a “machine gun, always a machine gun.”

A few years ago the CMP took a bunch of M14s and broke them down into parts kits. But as you probably know, there is a law against registering any new machine guns.

A pal in Iowa owned two of these; both rebuilt at an Army arsenal. Neither one could be said to be accurate except out to 25 feet, maybe. Your RR is a jewel.
