Re: CMP 1911s
With all due respect, you are mistaken. The topic has been covered quite often at the CMP Forum and the CMP's COO specifically said that once an item is bought from them, they have no interest in or control over what happens to it; i.e., they don't care. Further, as a C&R am I allowed to sell items as I see fit if it's for the purpose of building/improving my collection. So as long as I'm not running a business, profit is irrelevant. Of course mags/bayonets/ammo/etc. aren't covered by the 03 FFL anyway.

Re: CMP 1911s
Thinking about it a bit, I cannot think one good reason to buy one! At least not a "rack grade" M1911/M1911A1. Now if someone comes up with the chopped and channeled "General Officer's Model" or a Rock Island Arsenal built National Match grade hardball gun like the one I was issued by my ARCOM Pistol Team, I'd consider it!

Re: CMP 1911s
Well the CMP did clamp down on the gun show sellers buying up CMP Garands to flog for a profit by putting in place a limit you could buy in a calendar year.
Certainly the CMP can't tell people what to do with stuff once it's bought but the purpose of the original DCM and now CMP is for the advancement of civilian marksmanship. It's not in existence as a wholesaler to top up the retirement accounts of fat old guys to sit around and flog the boatload of CMP stuff they harvested off of the backs of the US taxpayer at a big profit at gun shows.
I would imagine if the 1911 pistols ever are available for sale, the CMP will have a limit in place so the system isn't abused and people actually have a chance of getting one, all of which by the way are all US taxpayer property at this point in time.

Re: CMP 1911s
When I bought my DCM Garand there was a stipulation that I could not dispose of it.

Re: CMP 1911s
A little after the sale gets going on these 1911A1's if they do sell them you'll see them being flipped on gunbroker shortly afterwards for double what was originally paid for them with descriptions like "Carried by Audie Murphy's cousin's sister's husband's nephew who was a deep cover OSS operator behind enemy lines". Flippers are in every hobby. You've seen nothing until you see Schwinn Stingray flippers.
