Garands in our future?

Wasn't there a thread about these from many years ago where we were told to "SSSSSHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!"

Translation: A low profile was the best way to get them here!

The Korean Garands do not belong to the U.S., if they did C.M.P. would import them. They are owned by Korea and they are trying to sell them.

No they are in the possession of S. Korea. They were lent to them by the US. The US has to approve any transfer of them. The CMP cannot import them now can they.
 
No Korean Garand import to Canada. Turn them all into Hyundai parts. I want to see my Garand hit $5k next year.

Mr. "O" just took a huge market off the world table. It will be interesting to see what will happen in the future.
 
I don't see Garands headed this way unless some European country is still holding onto a few container loads. What I do see are more SKS's, Mosins and various vintage European guns being shipped our way. Maybe some Yugoslavian stuff. It could stretch out our supplies a bit now that some of this stuff is getting scarcer.
Oh, and I do feel a little bit bad gloating about all the cool stuff we're gonna get at the expense of our neighbours.
 
Take a look at Trigger Wholesales Facebook page from this morning... Here's a screenshot for those who don't Facebook.

If the Korean Garands are marked U.S. PROPERTY they are already illegal for import into the U.S. unless there is a loophole around an already existing law. I owned a '44 Remington Rand a few years ago, figured I could sell it stateside for a good profit. NO WAY!!! I was told that firearms marked U.S. property could not legally be imported to the U.S. This is Obama's latest effort to look like he is doing something on the gun control front when he could not pass it through Congress, he calls it an executive order and sneaks it through the back door. Very undemocratic but that is nothing new. There isn't a gun problem in the U.S., they have a violence problem. And it's roots are drugs, socialism and the collapse of the traditional family. My 2 cents.

Agreed.
 
Very interesting, though I'm assuming it was a typo that they listed the M1 Garand as .308... I don't think they would have a line on that many surplus Navy Contract... Anyone else have other info?

Damn, guess I need to start saving...

I'm pretty sure that by the korean war, the 7.62x51 cartridge was already NATO standard so they had converted the garands. From 30-06 to .308 is an easy conversion, basically just a chamber sleeve so the shorter cartridge fits properly (unless they manufactured new barrels)

Nope, everyone was still using all their WWII gear in Korea. It started only five years after the end of WWII, no one had recovered sufficiently to supply new arms to their troops, especially while there were millions of serviceable rifles laying around. We (along with the other commonwealth forces) were still using the trusty 303 at the time. The North Koreans and Chinese used mainly M44 variants, despite the fact that the SKS and AK47 were already in use by the Russians.
 
Well Obama has strong opinions about internal US issues
But seems to have little issue with flooding other lands with arms
Hopefully we are on that list
