US allows import of 86,000 M1 rifles from Korea

What about the 700,000 M1 Carbines the article mentions and It also says they currently sell for $220?

Looks like the source is a Korean newspaper...have to wait to see if this firms up.

You can buy M1's from the CMP. What's the big deal?

My Grandpa was in Korea, I need in on this action. If anyone gets anymore info on this as time goes on please post it up. I'd be greatly appreciative.

Would be freakin' sweet to have both an M1 Garand and an M1 Carbine.

Possibly what the US is paying???

I should be allowed to get one. I dated a Korean girl years ago and trust me, being with her was a WAR.

They'll probably be sold to importers like century arms

Simple economics. Anytime there's an big influx of surplus rifle the prices go down while the market is saturated. I want an M1 so I'm watching this closely. I hope these 86k get imported and then remainder (700-900k) get approved as well.
