Korean Era M1s May Actually End Up On US Shores

[codygjohnson]

Well the Korean M1 Garands may make it to the US after all...

Korea Times Linkenese

Still no M1 Carbines, surely due to their baby-killing-mega-capacity-assault-clipz.

 

[lalonguecarabine]

Be nice. We'll see if this really happens or not.

 

[shooterfpga]

im somewhat following this too.

 

[Angered_Kabar]

If they let in the carbines that would be tits I guess.

 

[RetArmySgt]

I hope they all get to come home, and a few to come to my house would be a bonus.

 

[hkusp1]

I'll take 1 of each.

They used to sell those at Woolworths for around $250. I bought one I picked out of a barrel full.

Just to show you how times have changed, I bought the rifle during lunch, carried it back to the office (in downtown Houston), then carried it home on the Park-n-Ride bus. I think I had a bag over the barrel end. This was back in the mid-'80's and nobody considered that to be unusual. Today, I'd be sent to Gitmo before I crossed two intersections.

Its a double edged sword...I want them, but have not been able to justify the cost. I want a M1 Carbine too. I had a nice one of those, but got such a good deal on it the it left my hands too.

I would love for them to come in as they would lowert the market price for the. However I know there are lots of people who bought them as investments, this would suck for them.

My grandpa has a carbine in perfect condition. I want it sooo bad

 

[TwinGlocks]

I want one.

I was highly pissed off with the “potentially be exploited by individuals seeking firearms for illicit purposes” bullshit from a clueless buttmunch. But I, too, am keeping an eye on this situation and as soon as ANY M1 Garands from this appear on the market, I'm going to be all over it like white on rice. Ever since a coworker let me fire his Garand, I've been bitten by the "Garand bug."

The way I understand it you must be a Korea War Vet. They are supposed to only import 86,000 and the CMP is not involved.

 

[codygjohnson]

Yeah that's rediculous. It was probably something that was said in passing, "Korean war veterans will be able to hold the same rifle that kept them safe in the war" or some crap and everybody took it and ran. They are being sold to importers as C&R guns. All of this is already allowed under current federal regulations. There will be no restrictions on who buys them unless they pass a new law.

Rifle Sales - M1 Garand

Rifle Sales - M1 Garand

Nope Strelok, will not get them there. These will not go through the CMP. Orest Michaels, the COO of the CMP, has said so on numerous occasions.

My Dad is a former Marine (30 years) and a Korean war vet (as well as WW II) and he does not want to hold another Garand. He turned 91 this month.

My granddad had one too. My mother has it now. I want it!

 

[hkusp1]

I had 2 ww2 carbines 1 was loaned to an employee who sold it for dope and my dad has a everything a family member owns belongs to him mentality so he took off with the other one.

 

[AKM]

Id be in jail hk

 

[hkusp1]

The employee got his, I don't think he will ever get out of prison he got caught cooking meth in his bath tub and my dad well if it keeps him 1000 miles away he can keep it.
