Topic: NDAA Developments

 I thought this was interesting hot off the NRA press: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170714/cmp-sales-of-1911s-one-step-closer-with-house-passage-of-2018-ndaa. Many here may want to keep an eye on it and the CMP: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/ which is where they would be able to be purchased from.

I like the idea of the Gubmint selling old stock to reduce the debt instead of paying storage fees to increase the debt.  Go America!

This is pretty nice, I might actually have to get into one of the CMP groups so I can get hold of one of those M1's, and eventually the 1911.  I wonder, though, if this is a pistol that's on-roster here in Commifornia?  If it is not, I wonder if buying through CMP will exempt it?  If it's off-roster and not exempted, looks like I need to make friends with some LEO's? Oh wait...haha

they would be exempt because they fall under Curio & Relic.

You're talking about the guns, not Celt and me.  Right?

I guess I didn't think of that.  I'd assume they'd fall under C&R due to age, and I'm assuming none of these are newer than 50 years old?

 I'm not sure how old these would be in current storage but I'm sure there are some really historically valuable models down to field service grades. I know the military was wrapping up their transition from the 1911 to the (worthless) M9 in the late 80's and completed other than a few small exception units by the mid or so 90's. I do not know when the last contract batches were made but many of the 1911's I was issued were definitely Vietnam era and earlier firearms. As I remember it from the armorers records anyway. Most of our issue were Colt, Springfield and Ithaca. There were other manufacturers through the years but I do not remember seeing any. As I understand all the Colt and Springfield's would not be an issue for California.

Yeah, I figured they wouldn't be an issue, but it'll be like Cali to throw a curveball in there.
