I got tired of waiting and wanting a army issue 1911a1. Plus knowing it will be a lesser grade and over priced.
The closest I’ll ever get to one is my 2004 auto Ordnance Army ww2 clone 1911a1 for $389 nib. Since I saved money not on my car insurance I purchased the Springfield armory usgi mil spec as it was called in 2004 for $424. I bought two nib 1911’s rather than one old soldier 1911.
The best grades of the surplus 1911a1’s will go to certain people. I just don’t have time to wait.

Latest from CMP:
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.

Nope, only through all the hoop jumping outlined above. Or wait for the first gun show after this starts and get one there at a substantial markup.

That was 47 years ago. Average price for a gallon of gas was $.36. Can't buy it for that now, can we?
It's the 21st Century. It's immaterial what stuff cost in 1970.
