Dang, you think it was resolved when they passed the last law changing CMP charter and authorizing the transfer, but now they have to make a new law to force the Army to transfer them.
Removing the yearly cap in sales would be a bonus, as with limited sales it would be a fight to get one of them.

Occam's razor, the simplest explanation will be the most plausible
You would think. Only thing is the language in the old NDAA left it up to the Secretary of Defense to decide if, when, and how the 1911's were to be transferred. Under Obama control it wasn't going to happen. This new NDAA is going to change that, hopefully.
I just want a real G.I. Colt 1911 (stamped United States Property, U.S. Army). Used and worn is fine as long as it shoots and runs well. All at a reasonable price.![]()

SO, you would not want one that was stamped US NAVY?

All in fun. I'm sure that the CMP will look at market value and go from there. Only time is going to tell. Colt's could get a little rocky but, I'm going to hold on to mine.

Dreaming is hoping to get one in the $500 range.

What you are asking for is not out of range even in today's market. Keep an eye out at your local shops and pawn shops and you never know. If you focus on A1's they will be a little cheaper than M1911's. I have a few that no serious collector would touch, but they shoot fine and they are still a real piece of history. If your not worried about original finish and all the parts matching to the gun you can still find them for five hundred to a thousand dollars. Don't give up and good luck.

I would like one serial numbered to "war" years. Finish does not concern me too much, parked, blued, worn off. I do prefer the earlier ones with the wood grips though. I'm currently bidding on one now that is dated 1918. It has been rearsenaled at some point in time and parked. Still retains the wood grips though.
