    It has always been my understanding that the vast majority of these are on loan only and owned by the US government and should be returned and sold through the CMPicon. The US government should be the one sitting on the gold mine.

    If the rifles went through the CMP they'd be the ones sitting on a gold mine....but if the former CEO (Orest Michaels) of the CMP assessment of their condition is correct they won't be worth much as the condition leaves a lot to be desired.
