To all CMP constituents:
The CMP Board of Directors has discussed at length how the sales of 1911s would be handled, if the CMP were to ever receive them from the United States Army.
Some preliminary decisions:
Decisions concerning the grade and pricing of the 1911s will not be made until inspection has occurred of a substantial quantity which will take an estimated 150 days post receipt.
All laws pertaining to the sale of 1911s by CMP will be strictly obeyed.
Potential purchasers will have to provide to CMP a new set of documents exhibiting: 1) proof of U.S. Citizenship, 2) proof of membership in a CMP affiliated club, 3) proof of participation in a marksmanship activity, 4) a new form 2A with notary, 5) successful completion of a NICS background check, 6) a signed copy of the 01 Federal Firearms License in which the 1911 will be transferred to.
The CMP customer will be required to complete a form 4473 in person and successfully complete another NICS check by the recipient FFL holder before the pistol can be transferred.
Qualified CMP customer will only be allowed to purchase one 1911 per calendar year.
No 1911s available in the CMP stores, or on line, only mail order sales.
CMP will set the date in which it will accept orders for the 1911s. The date will be posted to the world.
Orders will only be accepted via mail order delivery. Orders will only be accepted post marked on the date or after, no early orders.
Once CMP receives 10,000 orders, customer names will be loaded into the Random Number Generator.
The Random Number Generator will provide a list of names in sequence order through a random picking process to CMP.
Customers will be contacted in the sequence provided by the Random Number Generator. When the customer is contacted a list of 1911 grades and pricing options that are available will be offered for selection of one.
As CMP proceeds down the sequenced list less grade and pricing options will be available. Again, this done completely random.

I bet they go for over $500. I would say closer to a grand.
I could rule the word If I could only get the parts
But it was big news that CMP might get some 1911s, everyone here, including me was excited about it, but if this is how they're going to do it, I don't know.
Meanwhile there are something like 60,000 Garands languishing in South Korea...
I'm glad they're doing all these sales by mail order. A few years ago, they had a bunch of M1 Carbines for sale, but they all sold through the retail store locations in just a few hours. Lots of irate posts in the member forums.
Need a new barrel
Cycles fine and spits em down range. but at a minimum it deserves period parts
Join the Garand Collectors Association to satisfy club membership. $25 per year.
Former LEO, military DD-214 or active duty, carry license, 03 C&R FFL, hunter safety course with live fire will qualify for marksmanship activity.
Collectors, Provinance
I’m fairly certain price vs quality Rock Island’s got this handled.
...Who would want to buy a rusty old rattletrap 1911 that has been through hell and back when you can just go buy a brand new Glock..
Through hell and back? Fighting Philippine rebels. Pancho Villa. The trenches of WWI, The South Pacific Islands and the European theatre in WWII, Korea, Vietnam? And protection of American bases worldwide till replaced?
To hell and back? Yes, history. That’s why.
A Rock Island Armory from PI is probably more accurate..
This is about collectors
See, that's a pain in the azz. Why isn't a CCW good enough?
Good to see you sax!
Got a bunch of Makarovs for like $125
CMP membership = $25
It looks like you have to pay for TWO NCIS background checks. Around here cheapest transfers are $40 x 2 = $80
Lots of way to get the marksmanship. CCW, over 60, military/LEO, etc.
Unknown price/quality, you may not even get drawn. That's $65 down the drain.
No one pays for NICs checks!
Besides taxpayers
“See, that’s a pain in the azz. Why isn’t a CCW good enough?”
Maybe it’s a nod to the reason for which they were established.
Always good to see you.
In Tx I Hand over my CHL There is no NICs check..
Th\y already have my prints
That’s nice, I do a bit of marksmanship training in the forest. But that isn’t sanctioned.
(Dudley Brown notwithstanding)
Ain’t that right...
