M1 Garands inbound from Korea!

The rifle that won the war, the M1 Garand!  During WWII the US was kicking ass and helping other nations fight by lending them weapons.  Most of these weapons have come back home and are distributed back to civilians via the Civilian Marksmanship Program.  For about $500+ (and a few hoops) you can own an M1 Garand!  No joke, it is actually shipped to your home in a hard case.  God bless America!

The CMP supply has been dwindling over the years, and the rifles are running out.  We loaned Korea a TON of rifles, but because of some political headaches they weren't able to return home... until now!  According to TTAG and the Korean Times 87,310 rifles will be coming back to the US, for sale!  I guess a bunch of M1 carbines are still floating around Korean armories because of detachable mag laws and probably won't be coming home any time soon.  The Korean times said the garands will cost about $220, but I'm gonna call BS on that.  TTAG says these will probably be sold via Century Arms or other 3rd party importers.  My best guess is they will return through CMP, but who knows.  The point is these rifles are coming home, and I sure as hell want one!
