I know they have been in Anniston (Army, not CMP facility) for years. Clinton wanted to cut them up.

Foxtrot Clinton , in fact both of em.

This happened under his Presidency:
Guns already destroyed include:

(1) 110,000 M1911A1 Colt .45 pistols

(2) 45,000 M1 Carbines

(3) 40,000 M1903A3 Drill Rifles

(4) 30,000 M1 Garands

(5) 6,000 M1903A3 rifles

(6) 6,000 M12 .22 rifles

This is DANG encouraging!

Concerning sale price of the 1911s: CMP has been selling M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, 1903s, .22s, etc. for 21+ years and we have never taken advantage of anyone. CMP is not going to start price gouging people now with the 1911s. The 1911s will be priced at fair market value just like our M1 Garands. The CMP's enabling legislation directs sales of items at fair market value.

Fingers crossed!!!
