I predict this is going to turn into one of the saddest 2A stories ever. Scammers will be claiming to be selling them everywhere and speculators will have them on Gunbroker the day they start shipping.
And even the mainstream media is starting to sensationalize this...https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-army-selling-most-powerful-013200617.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=1_09

Loving this part of the article....
"that means there are at least 80,000 1911s ready and waiting for a nasty civilian to give them a good home."
So, let's see... American-Bolsheviks hate the cops because they're all racists (even though these hyphenators feel that "only cops should have guns"...reckon that one out???), they hate the military because they're all "baby-killers" and they hate non-hyphenated Americans because we don't subscribe to their sexually-confused, social justice psychosis.
Now I get it.
Article says it costs 2 bucks a day to store EACH of 100,000 1911's
Is there someone visiting them once a day to bottle feed them Ballistol or something?
This is probably just an accounting thing. Take the square feet of the building they are in and divide it by the total square feet of the buildings at that fort (or facility). Then use that ratio times the cost to run that fort and you get the cost to store the 1911's. When the guns are gone, this will be the cost to maintain the empty warehouse.
To all CMP constituents:
The CMP Board of Directors has discussed at length how the sales of 1911s would be handled, if the CMP were to ever receive them from the United States Army.
Some preliminary decisions:
Decisions concerning the grade and pricing of the 1911s will not be made until inspection has occurred of a substantial quantity which will take an estimated 150 days post receipt.
All laws pertaining to the sale of 1911s by CMP will be strictly obeyed.
Potential purchasers will have to provide to CMP a new set of documents exhibiting: 1) proof of U.S. Citizenship, 2) proof of membership in a CMP affiliated club, 3) proof of participation in a marksmanship activity, 4) a new form 2A with notary, 5) successful completion of a NICS background check, 6) a signed copy of the 01 Federal Firearms License in which the 1911 will be transferred to.
The CMP customer will be required to complete a form 4473 in person and successfully complete another NICS check by the recipient FFL holder before the pistol can be transferred.
Qualified CMP customer will only be allowed to purchase one 1911 per calendar year.
No 1911s available in the CMP stores, or on line, only mail order sales.
CMP will set the date in which it will accept orders for the 1911s. The date will be posted to the world.
Orders will only be accepted via mail order delivery.
Orders will only be accepted post marked on the date or after, no early orders.
Once CMP receives 10,000 orders, customer names will be loaded into the Random Number Generator.
The Random Number Generator will provide a list of names in sequence order through a random picking process to CMP.
Customers will be contacted in the sequence provided by the Random Number Generator.
When the customer is contacted a list of 1911 grades and pricing options that are available will be offered for selection of one.
As CMP proceeds down the sequenced list less grade and pricing options will be available. Again, this done completely random.

Is the random number generator new to CMP?
