[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2381611, member: 7157"] There are two problems with this issue, though: first, if the rifles were allowed back into the US, the CMP would not get them because they wouldn't be part of the MAP loans. They'd have to be imported back into the US, so the receivers on these rifles would be marred with the billboard mark of the importer. People wouldn't want those as much as they'd want the unmarked rifles from the CMP; probably the biggest draw of these rifles would be for the rare parts they might contain. Which brings us to Problem No. 2. Those who've seen samples of the Korean rifles have said that as a rule, the rifles are in poor condition, with worn-out barrels, pitting, and rust. That would have an effect on the desirability of these rifles, not only for the "as is" aspect, but also for their parting-out. It's just not a good situation. Our best hope is for returns from another country - did you know that we recently got a batch of M1's back from Turkey? Reportedly, they're not in as good condition overall as the Greek returns, but there are some good rifles in the lot. [/QUOTE]
