Fair market value CMP M1911???

The problem is that until now, "US Government Property"-marked 1911s have been scarce enough that the prices listed are on the generous (to buyer) side of fair market value, even knowing these will be mixmasters. At 1000/yr max release (800 for this first year), that's still FMV. I paid $600 17 years ago for a USGI Remington Rand but it had been refinished by the idiot prior owner so lost most of its value as a collector.

I had heard they're letting 10K a year go.

They're getting something like 75,000 of them total.

Yeah, his numbers are off.... it's 8k this year, and up to 10k a year after this.

While the National Defense Authorization Act granted transfer of a maximum of 10,000 1911s per year to the CMP, the Secretary of the Army allowed only 8,000 1911s to be transferred to the CMP for sale and distribution this fiscal year.
