M1s may be coming home after all!

I believe the best we can do is HOPE for CHANGE in the big White House.
USA --(Ammoland.com)- 86,000 U.S.-made M1 Garand rifles are schedualed for auction and maybe possibly be coming back to the United States from the Republic of Korea (South Korea) to be sold to Americans (June 25).
While the deal is still on- there’s some good news and bad news.
The good news is that progress is being made to repatriate these legendary firearms back to the United States.
The bad news is that we’re only talking about 84,417 M1 Garand rifles now.

My next big firearms purchase will be a CMP M1. At least that's the plan, unless I see something shiny at the gun show this weekend.....
SemperFiGuy:
I want a very specific United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 : that fairly early Springfield with exact serial number #1070170.
It has significantly damaged and discontinuous rifling, just about 2/3 of the way down the barrel. The stock has "numerous scars and markings all over", as stated on the 782 gear sheet.
Nevertheless, It still shot Expert Rifleman during range qualification, despite the boot recruit who was waving it around all over the range. It never drew a Maggie's Drawers.
I always fancied that it was used in the campaigns in the Pacific during WWII. That maybe the barrel was shot out during frontal assaults at the caves at Peliliu. Or maybe at the foot of Suribachi. Or at Shuri Castle.
Whatever, that Beautiful Sum***** is a keeper and I'd surely like to have it back.
