    Anybody who has been a citizen for life, and wants one, should have their name entered into a database for a free drawing. They already belong to us, anyways. Might be the only way some people would be able to have a decent weapon.

      I'm guessing maybe somewhere between $500 to $1200+, depending on condition?

      Whatever they charge, these being genuine surplus 1911's, I doubt they'll lack for buyers. :)

    Wonder when they'll start selling them? I was a pistol Instructor for ROTC when I was in the Army (62-65) with the First Infantry Div. I live about 30 mins. from Camp Perry Ohio where there is a CMP. I'll be first in line.
