I sent my order packet in today. Oct 4 is the deadline...your order must be postmarked by then if you want a chance to get one of these from the first group released.

Fingers crossed for you Bailey!!! Keep us updated.

I've decided to sit this one out. The M1 Carbine lottery was disappointing and I found a M1911A1 in collectable condition and bought it.

I am very curious to see what people get though. Either way, these guns are going to have some history on them, some maybe three wars!

I figured my chances are slim and none. But I've had very good luck with CMP Garands. I'm hoping if hell freezes over and my number gets picked I'll get a nice one. Who knows?

The way M1911 prices have been going, I don't think you can do wrong for $1K if you get picked. Solid shooters are going for at least that much and these will have history. If you get something you hate, put it on GB.

And if you swing and miss, at least you tried. 8K is better odds than the M1 Carbine lottery.

I just reviewed their site and along with limited to one, they are pulling auction buyers from the list! So they are really protecting the lottery.

Yep. Lifetime limit of one for each person picked...that includes those bought at auction. Saw that.

A lot of people complaining about the paperwork and prices. The application took me 10 mins to put together aside from the time it took to get the form notarized at my bank. And I don't think the prices are bad at all.

Best of luck BG!

Good luck BG! I decided to sit the first chance out as my funds are on the skinny side right now.

Yeah, I get that. I have to figure out what to sell on the off chance I have to pay for one.

Of course, there used to be a lifetime limit of 1 Garand per person too ... and that went by the wayside so there's always a possibility the limit will be raised in the future.

I sent mine in Thursday. I wish they’d tell us what number we were but it sounds like no packets are getting opened until the number comes up? Oh well a good chance to get a decent 1911. Some are Anniston depot fresh.
