But the updates were not limited to the M14. We previously covered the announcement that CMP would be selling shotguns. Those will be coming from the various branches of the armed forces. The first batch will be 2,000-3,000 scatterguns from the Army coming in the Fall. About 400 of the legendary Model 1897 Trench Guns are part of that batch. Pricing info was not available, but it is a good guess that those will be put up for auction.

Purchase limits for the 1911 are also changing. The current system caps lifetime purchases at four pistols. Starting January 1st, 2027, the lifetime cap will be gone. Instead, purchasers can get two pistols per person per year.

We will be sure to share more details about the new guns coming from CMP as they become available. Which ones are you planning to pick up? And what military surplus guns would you like to see from CMP in the future?
