    Climate in Korea could very well have turned the guns into junk if they weren't preserved very well...

    Yeah. People see a 5% discount on a gun and everybody rush in to get them. They know they will sell even at 1300, so they will max out the price as much as they can. It's business.

    Same rumor as 2012. No deal. Obama shut the door on these. Maybe Canada can buy them instead 87,000 garands . . . one for everyone!

    Wouldn't pay $5 for a dumpster rifle. These Things are garbage.
    I didn't invent the turtle neck, but I was the first to recognize it's potential as a tactical garment... Tactical turtle neck. Tactlneck.

    First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

    They may be beater rifles, but they are still functioning garands, and a lot of milsurp collectors buy things as a piece of history. So if they are a bit beat, just ads character.

    Hopefully there's an ammo stockpile coming too...

    Really?

    If CMP is selling them for $220 in the US, there is a reason for it. And it isn't because they got them that cheap.
    Exactly, the last statement, Fenceline has it right.
    Don't be making blanket statements claiming everybody else would be willing to fork over several hundred bucks on surplus rifles of unknown condition. Speak for yourselves.
    If I didn't know better it sounds like something a prospective importer/entrepreneur would say, to prep people for some future price gouging/fixing. Nobody's even seen these things up close yet,.. yet they're automatically worth upwards of at least $660 to $700 are they? Yeah right. From the few photos I saw on the web, they look like you'd be lucky to be able sell them as parts guns. As-is, the ones I saw pics of were beaten up rust buckets. If somebody can strip them apart, clean the parts up and salvage the decent parts left on them, that may be an option too. But it's all conjecture at this point.
    Like the other fella said, I'll believe it when they show up here.

    Those are just "safe kisses", aren't they?
