"is this all a wet dream because he said a few cryptic words. "

Ok let me be perfectly clear on this, I will not, cannot, discuss anything to do with this matter....
Should there be any news I will certainly post it..

"If he's following THIS thread by way of market research to gauge interest (not that such business concepts are relevant to Marstar, according to John), he's probably having his guys (and girls) clear a big spot in the warehouse right now. "

Come on now, if you think for one second that I would base decisions to buy any large numbers of material on what I hear on this site, you are sadly mistaken....
While I do value the opinion of the members here, they do represent a very small number in the overall picture.

When we deal in large numbers, lets say the Yugo Mausers a few years ago, more than 350,000 of them, I have to know what markets are available to me, not just Canada, not just retail, etc, etc....

Goodness, such a long reply to my 'tongue in cheek' comment. Thanks John!

And thanks for the business lesson. Your comments should help posters keep things in perspective- remind us where we fit in your scheme of things.

Newspaper reports state:

"A total of 86,000 M1 rifles and another 22,000 carbines will be sold, according to the ministry, which estimates their expected sale price at $220 and more than $140, respectively."

Be interesting to see what they RETAIL for.

Edit: oh, sorry, forgot, not gonna happen.

Well if they get here I'm sure a lot of people will be happy. If not we will all just have to hop a plane to South Korea and pick out our own.
