Climate in Korea could very well have turned the guns into junk if they weren't preserved very well...
Korean M1 Garands green light.

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.

Wouldn't pay $5 for a dumpster rifle. These Things are garbage.

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.

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.

I am sure he'll be around any moment..............He's probably calling Alan Alda for confirmation on the rifle deal as we speak.

Hot Dang! There must be gold in them thar Koreeeean hills!
(sung to the the tune of Beverly Hillbillies' theme music)
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed.
A poor gun seller, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was drivin' in his car,
And ran across a crate of some surplus gun parts,
Korean M1 parts that is, Garand gold, glory be.
The next thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire, the kin folk said "Jed move away from there" They said "Koreeea's the place ya ought to be", so he loaded up the truck and he moved across the sea.
Koreeean hills that is, army motor pools, milsurp depots and seedy bars.
(hillbilly banjo solo now cuts in)
Yep Jethro, looks like thar could be millions to made from these Koreeean Garands.

Last week I noticed that a new 1 year member already has over 11,000 posts....now thats gotta be some kind of record?
Probably whining about Century and spreading misinformation like he usually does. I don't care about the quality of the rifles, just the cost. Would be nice to have an abundance of parts we can use for Garands builds.

Too bad about the 770,000 M1 carbines that they won't bring back with them. Almost 13% of the entire production sitting there. God only knows how many are sitting in the holds of freighters lying at the bottom of the Atlantic.
