GRIZ 3,369 Posted November 27, 2015 This is good. Remember CMP will grade and price these accordingly. They will be less expensive than what you would pay on the open market as their rifles are. However, don't look for a super bargain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted November 27, 2015 Will still need a pistol permit... But still - good price. May be time to pick up a 1911 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted November 27, 2015 Unless you really want an old war horse I doubt the guns will shooters, my guess is these are going to be mostly mantle pieces. If my understanding is correct the 1911's were really ratty when they went in storage, which is also why I think the Marines went ahead and bought new ones, the old ones are probably no longer worth refitting.

mrg455 6 Posted November 27, 2015 what will this do to the market prices? will it bring the mainstream prices down a lot, or just a minimal amount? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usnmars 136 Posted November 27, 2015 I think it will be a negligible decrease. Look at garands, you can get a m1 through the CMP but yet they are 1400 at gushows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted November 27, 2015 what will this do to the market prices? will it bring the mainstream prices down a lot, or just a minimal amount? I don't think it will effect prices in the marketplace as CMP rifle sales don't really effect other sales. Mamy people don't and don't want to try to qualify to purchase from CMP. I'd like to see these 45s sold to veterans first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
