RyM3rC Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Will I get 5? Someone has to put a stop to this. Price of a USGI M1a >>> Price of USGI garand last time I checked. Well that's just fine. CMP still has plenty to sell, and hopefully the next administration can get us some good USGI stuff back. Or the cartels will buy them all up, and somehow it will still be our fault. Also, you can (or could) pretty easily get AP rounds for the 30-06 for not much money. God forbid we all load up our garands and shoot holes in thick steel plating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I can't find any other story sources other then fox news. Even typing Obama Ban M1 in news.google.com Is this real or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I can't search atm, but look at nra-ila.com they should have supporting information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 The word on the Garand streets is that since Korea didn't pay for these (they're were MAP grant guns) but they want to sell them for profit, to us, we're saying no. So basically, we gave them away + now they want to sell them back to us = fail. Hopefulyl it works out and some happy importer gets them. I'm sure only a small portion of them are actually nice. Just like most of the stuff we get from other countries, it's mostly beat to shit junk/parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 we gave them away + now they want to sell them back to us = fail. So there's the real reason why... Obama lynch mob...DISPERSE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, this has happened many times in the past--capitalism at it's finest.. Not just under Obama's hand. I didn't know the story behind this batch, but that would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 There were a few people over at the CMP forums that claimed to have seen some of the Carbines while in Korea, and they were described as nasty, even the best they saw were well below rack grade. I love my Garand...for rapid aimed fire at ranges beyond 100 yards, it's hard to beat the Garand. The only draw-back is that darn en-bloc clip.

cinergi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 There is a solution for that, but it is not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Now it makes more sense. i love my some guns. I will someday again own an AK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 It DID technically begin last year... technically it's been in design for a long, long time... but it finally came to fruition. I've been eyeballing it for awhile, but this is their actual first "move". People who wished they had guns now should have bought a long, long time ago. If you're just now trying to start a collection you are WAY behind the curve... and plenty of adequate notice was given. I know, I was dicking around.

gatzer Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Also, you can (or could) pretty easily get AP rounds for the 30-06 for not much money. That is correct. They run $1 a round for the AP, M2's, (black colored tip). A little tougher to find are the API, M14A1's. Those run $5 a round (aluminum colored tip).

Lustalbert Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Use a ganad in crime? Laughable. I will be writing a letter to my representative on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little tougher to find are the API, M14A1's. Those run $5 a round (aluminum colored tip). CMP brought in a bunch of the 30.06 AP earlier this year. They were selling it for CHEAP - $60 for a sealed SPAM can of 192 rounds!! It sold out in less than 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like most of the stuff we get from other countries, it's mostly beat to shit junk/parts. Even if this was true, their logic fails. There is still a significant amount of money to be made on these rifles (even just for parts) and our government might as well get some of our tax money back by taking their cut. It would be a shame for these to be destroyed - which is the most likely scenario. SK will probably not be allowed to sell them to anyone else.

God forbid we all load up our garands and shoot holes in thick steel plating! even the non AP rounds will still go threw 1/4" steel plate. the AK round didn't even scratch the paint.

You don't honestly expect the government to use logic do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Got my Garand and M14 already hanging on the wall. When the zombies attack, one for me, one for the boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
