Quote from the email, but other than that no. Sorry.

I'm disgusted that -- as Memorial Day approaches -- Barack Obama is STILL blocking over 600,000 M1 Carbines from returning to our country.

Sure, you saw the headlines...

Under intense pressure from angry gun owners, Obama finally lifted his re-importation ban on the 84,417 M1 Garands that have been sitting in a Korean warehouse.

But his silence on the over 600,000 M1 Carbines i

The email is complaining about the ban on M1 Carbines, obviously. But I hadn't heard about the Garands being allowed back in before this.
 
The CMP says on their website that even if the Korean Garands come into the country they won't be sold through the CMP.
 
Agree...I will believe it when I see it and they have already been inspected and turned down by the CMP as being much lower in grade than even rack grade...I guess they didn't even want to try to salvage receivers.

What the heck were they doing to the rifles over there to get them in such bad shape? IF they really are beat up, rusted relics, do we even want them here? (of course we do ;))

I suppose I could go for a 300$ beater Garand (provided it still works)...

The CMP never had anything to do with them in the first place as they are not importers. They would only get involved if these were returned to the US Gov and then turned over to them. Orest posted this information on the CMP forums.

+1. Rifles that were loaned to various governments, have to be returned to the U.S. government, the Army processes them and turns them over to the CMP for sales. However, rifles that were bought outright by various governments can be sold to importers for commercial sale, and this does not involve the CMP at all. So, the CMP never had anything to do with these rifles, and it has nothing to do with their condition.

National Association for Gun Rights, I assumed people knew who they were. Seen some members on THR. I personally don't care much for them, but they send me emails anyway.

Still no substantiation, no links. If this site wants to have some credibility as "The Truth About Guns" it needs to prove that what they are saying is in fact the "truth".

Quote from The Korean Times(source cited in the link I posted):"A senior defense ministry official, however, raised the possibility that the U.S. government may cancel the plan to allow the purchase the M1s, saying Seoul has yet to finalize negotiations with Washington."

``We have yet to receive confirmation from the United States over our proposal,” he said. “The U.S. government may change its position at the last minute due to political considerations.”
 
I should have been more clear. This is what I was referring to:

The State Department has finally gotten off its rear end and green-lighted their re-entry into The Land of the Free. The rifles had been in political limbo for decades . . .

They won't import them because they are technically our guns already! The Koreans only have those M1 Carbines because we gave them to them during the Korean war under lend-lease. In order for them to sell those rifles, they have to compensate the United States first.

If they sell these, it means we just payed for what is already our property. I'd rather not get taken for a sucker.
