South Korean Garands

[kferguson]

My apologies if this has already been gone over. I saw on Front Sight's web site that Obama won't allow South Korea's surplus lend/lease Garands back into the states. I think he wants them destroyed Well I hope one of our Canadian milsurp dealers is all over this !!! Just like we can get Norinco and the Americans can't, maybe this'll go our way too ??

Please inform and enlighten.

Suggest you search "South Korea" on this forum. There is plenty of info/speculation about this here.

Marstar would be all over it if there was a chance. As far as I understand I remember John saying it was a no-go at the time

Might be a bonanza of spare parts but I've heard most of the Korean surplus is in REALLY rough condition.

You have a better chance of being knighted by the Queen than getting one of those rifles...

According to U.S. law, any firearm marked "U.S. PROPERTY" cannot legally be imported back into the U.S. even though it was manufactured there. One of the reasons you can buy a really nice 1911 U.S. military sidearm for considerably less in Canada than you would pay in the U.S.

If which case, he would be getting a No. 4 Mk 1 instead of a Garand.

...it's also possible that the Queen would lop his head off with her sword, rather than knighting him...for wanting a firearm...

All the current M1 owners say to keep them out. We don't want these SK import to flood the market and upset the soon to be $5k Garand price.

Oh come on dude are you honestly saying you don't want 300 dollar garands.

Cantom,

The Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles etc. own lots of guns, REALLY NICE guns. Think Purdy, Westley Richards, Holland and Holland (drool, slobber) etc., the gun grabbing proclivities of their nation notwithstanding. So I don't think they would have a problem with gun ownership. And hey, who says I won't be knighted !?! I could invent something er, ah, or I could discover something, or....aww heck. I bet she has some really nice swords too

Mike Webb,
My point exactly, the US cant but maybe we can!

not when you have the market on ones worth about $1,200 because they are scarce.

Yup, I remember a few years ago when My Russian SKS could Fetch $400 - $500, now they are a dime a dozen.

Well now is the time to buy more for when they're back to $500. Like I would with the SK Garands.

Ah , the 'Sharon" approach/reasoning to not issuing more shares....

No way! Yes I paid the garand premium for my Winchester but if they were cheap I would buy a bunch!

 

[300Spartans]

I liked it when I was buying Garands for $100. I miss those days.

Too bad that the way the economy is going right now this bubble is going to burst.

Actually, John didn't say it was a no-go; he said, "Please do not ask me to comment on this particular matter"....
