I keep seeing news articles on this and man how cool would it be to add a 1911 that was used on the front lines in WWII. Looks like you submit your name then go into a lottery type of drawing. Anyone know how you submit your name?
Have you guys heard about these WWII era 1911's the government might be selling?

Lots of ancillary information here. Looks like join a club, hope the bill passes, then submit the form.

Thank you that has been the most informative one I have read. Didn't know I would have to join a club.
It's such horseshit the way they are doing that...not so much the club thing, because with the CMP you have always had to have some sort of documentation of proficiency or membership in a local club (NRA doesn't count), but the whole "raffling off 10,000 at a time" bs is just going make these end up on GunBroker for $5,000 a piece.
Why they don't just get them in, grade the lot and sell them all at once is beyond me. They have always had the auction where they list rare or pristine examples of Garands and M1 30 carbines, they could simply do that with something like an unissued or pristine 1945 Ithaca 1911 or some Singer or Rand.
