Yeah, I'd love to have an all original war horse 1911. We'll see what comes of it. I think it has a better chance that it has in YEARS! Or at least the past 8.Sweet! If they end up selling them through the CMP I'll probably pick up two of them. One to keep as original and one to send another off to either Joe Chambers or Chuck Rogers to have a custom build done.

That's what I'm guessing. Probably around M1 Carbine pricing.Nice 100K available what's the price for admission anybody know yet. $700-$800
I'd love to have a real 1911 also... but... I'm afraid they're going to price themselves out of the market. I envision a grading system similar to what they have now- service grade, rack grade, etc. with the cheapest ones being in the $800 range going up to over a grand from there.
Unfortunately, if the prices are that high, I'd rather just buy a near new Colt.
I would grab one or two to fill gaps in my collection but Im mostly hoping this will open the door to them selling some of those ol M9's as they are moving to Sig's now.
M9 curio/relic. Like it. I'd like to see them put some M-16s out. I'd love an original A1. But I'm sure those will probably just be destroyed or sold to another country. I doubt they'll want to full with swapping them to semi.I would grab one or two to fill gaps in my collection but Im mostly hoping this will open the door to them selling some of those ol M9's as they are moving to Sig's now.
yeah me to but thats unlikely due to them having the party selector (full fun button)M9 curio/relic. Like it. I'd like to see them put some M-16s out. I'd love an original A1.

Maybe everything but the FCG?yeah me to but thats unlikely due to them having the party selector (full fun button)
that would be nice but more likely we would be able to get a kit with cut receiver as thats whats defined as the offending part, but even that would be pretty coolMaybe everything but the FCG?
I buy one! I've seen a couple fly-by-night companies selling the surplus parts kits. But all of them I have found have horrible reputations for sending out complete junk.that would be nice but more likely we would be able to get a kit with cut receiver as thats whats defined as the offending part, but even that would be pretty cool
I spent my last year in the Corps as the NCOIC of the Stone Bay Pistol Range, the main pistol range of Camp Lejeune.
I'm a huge 1911 fan, my favorite combat handgun, but those 1911's I saw come through were pathetic. A mishmash of parts, looser n' fuck, and unreliable. I had several in my hands that were so bad I couldn't put 3 rounds on cardboard at 25 yards.
Keep in mind that the US military hasn't purchased a standard issue 1911 since 1945.
