[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2279149, member: 7157"] Neither, IMHO. The CMP is not an importer of firearms - they were originally a govt-created entity, and their stores of firearms are given to them by the US Armed Forces, primarily the Army. Only Congress can change the arrangement, and as dysfunctional as it is, I seriously doubt anything will happen any time soon to change the way the CMP conducts business. However, I'm sure the EO will put people in a panic, and they'll order even more M1's from the CMP, further swamping their staff and extending the back log of orders. It's at the gun shows that we'll see a spike in M1 prices, with sellers claiming the supply has dried up thanks to Obama. More relevant will be the effect on importers of other firearms, such as Century. Even then, the effect will be mainly on the supply of modern firearms, like Saiga, rather than on milsurps. The supply of the latter has gone down drastically simply because there aren't any more significant caches in the pipeline, not because of any EO's. [/QUOTE]
