CMP 1911's

Any of the 1911's in original condition are probably going to auction. This will certainly be true for the more rare manufacturers, and it would not surprise me if the Remington Rands do so when NIB. I will try for one regardless of condition. My USMC M45A1 needs a buddy. I will try for Colt but it really does not matter what marque in the end.

As the letter states, none will be sold online/auctioned. Only by mail and if your name is chosen. The CMP email is above.

Who exactly is the clique? :confused:

The first rule of The Clique is you don't talk about The Clique.

All I've managed to find out is that they're a group of nameless men usually described as having "deep pockets". They're supposedly conspiring to place volunteers within the CMP who will take part in repairing the 1911s, but who will hold out choice pieces for members of The Clique.

They could be anyone. They could be everywhere.

I think my feline friend has this nailed.

I got this in e-mail today. Guns America article by S.H. Blannelberry. It seems that CMP is selling these more as collectibles rather than simply firearms. Both the price and hoops designed for a major CYA just in case something bad happens with one of these guns. Can't really say I blame them.
I'm still on the fence. I have a G.I. issue 1911 already. I'm still waiting to see what they got and where actual prices will be. But I admit, I am tempted. :rolleyes:

Sorry I just can't see the logic in the way they went about CYA. Criminals aren't looking for historical firearms to commit crime with. Just like they aren't looking for bayonet lugs or Garands.

Proof of citizenship? As a former resident alien I was LEGALLY allowed to walk into a gun shop and buy whatever I could afford! How does a US born citizen prove citizenship? Apply for a passport? Send them a birth certificate?

Notorized? Why?

Mailed in requests? The only thing I can see this use is to avoid email spam but all they have to is create a new email for this purpose only.
