DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN....
I wonder what the pricing will be? I mean, who *wouldn't* want a Garand?

I think what we see in the country now is what we get. The US CMP got three nice infusions of Garands over the past 15 yrs or so, one from Denmark, one from Greece (this lot contained many un-issued post-WW2 rifles) and from Turkey. The last bunch we saw in our retail trade were mostly post-WW2 rifles from Saudi or Jordanian surplus , and its been about 5 yrs since these were sold off.

A correction to yesterdays post on the Garand's and Browning High Powers:
-The Browning pieces are not rifles. They are 9mm WWII pistols.
-These would have been issued so they are used.
-We are unsure of the condition at this time.
-These items were made in Canada by Inglis in Toronto between 1944 and 1945.
-Based on what I have been told, I assume (or guess) that these pieces are from the Chinese contract meaning that they have Adjustable Rear Sights and a Detachable Stock (which I am unsure, but doubt that the stock is available).
-Several details and how many pieces that I have access to are still TBD. The recent Presidential Order banning the repatriation of firearms may not apply to these goods as they were not originally made in the USA. If that is the case, I will only get a limited supply of these goods.
-This process is in its infancy so these items will not be available for at least 8-10 weeks.
*Phil, If I can get one for the museum I will most certainly make a donation. These are Canadian artifacts and there needs to be at least one of these on display (if you don't have one already)!

So in other words, he'll get as many M1's as he wants, but will have to split the Inglis guns with US firms who will want them. The US guys are more frugal though and the guns fetch less $ down there. Their strength is volume. Small lots can be set aside for Canada if CDN importers pay premuim $.
Interesting. I wonder if these CH(?) Inglis high-powers will have the same Chinese hot blue refinish as one of the last imports or if some might retain the original phosphate? This could be a nice option for those who want shooter grade Inglis's without paying the recent EE premium.

Got mine the hard way. Importer got a batch out of the Phillipines. The one I bought had no wood, no rear sight, and a shot out barrel. bought the stock, and our unit armourer installed a new barrel and provided all the other bits. Had the bolt magnafluxed and the locking lug was cracked, but again, thanks to the armourer got a new bolt as well. It pays to have friends!
