CMP received a bunch of 1911 pistols a few years ago, but the first lot sold out quickly. No word on when more may be available.
I'll bet my paycheck for a year against a box of stale doughnuts that the CMP will see zero military surplus M-16's. If that was going to happen it would have happened a long time ago.
Not really.
If I am not mistaken - they either sold them overseas or scrapped them for parts for the M4s....
If they retire them all - it will make a glut of them.
It makes more sense to sell them than scrap them for metal....
