Sorry that I didn't clarify...the rifles were not being resold by S.Korea, they
were banned from importation back to the U.S. for resale to FFL dealers, where they possibly could wind up at CMP, hopefully.
I'll be more careful in how I word my threads.

I saw this same ad but, looks thier aint much for clubs in Missouri.
The ones that are listed are way too far away and some of them aint even active.

Recently I did a bit more checking into the S. Korean M1 Garand resale issue and
found that SK apparently does own the rifles that were said to "being loaned during and after the Korean War".
This news release by the State Department actually states that the rifles that were banned from importation, do in reality belong to SK.
The State Department announced on Dec. 2, 2011 that it will re-consider its stance against allowing M-1 Garands into the United States if South Korea offers another sale.
“The Department will consider a new request from the Republic of Korea (ROK) to transfer its inventory of approximately 87,000 M-1 Garand rifles into the United States for sale on the commercial market,” a spokesperson at the U. S. Department of State said to Guns&Patriots on Dec. 2. “We have not yet received that request.”
“These M-1 Garand rifles date back as far as 1926 and remain a legacy of decades of U.S.-South Korean security partnership. The ROK intends to use the net proceeds of the sale, estimated to be between $2 million - $10 million depending on the condition of the rifles, to upgrade its Homeland Defense Mobilization Reserve components with more modern rifles,” said the spokesperson.
I hope this will clarify the issue and again prompt members to contact their Senators
and Congressmen to urge the State Dept. to reverse it's ban on importation of these
rifles.

1926 for an M1 Garand??? Im pretty sure that's a typo since it didn't go into service with the US army until like 36 in limited numbers. If its not, I want one from 1926 so i can sell it! haha

You are absolutely correct deersniper, but what would you expect from a anti-gun
administration spokesperson. To set the record straight and correct the statement by the State Dept., on January 9, 1936, the brainchild of John Garand was adopted as
U.S. Rifle, .30 Cal., M1.

You guys in the US don't realise how lucky you are with your gun laws.Here in the UK we can only own a firearm with a Fire Arms Certificate. Not an easy thing to get hold of.
They will however let us have deactivated weapons, at the moment. This is on the cards to change in the future.I collect WW2 allied weapons, and at the moment am after an M1 Garrand.Thats how I came to see this site and deceided to add my comments.We have two specifications of deactivation. New and old.Anything deactivated after 1996 is "new spec".Mainly welded solid or partly welded up and bits of the action cut away.New spec Garrand=$800.
Old spec has working action. Can be stripped, cocked and dry fired.Will never be able to be discharged though. Cost=$2240 .Can you believe these prices compared with what you can get a genuine working WW2 model for!!!!I would buy a crate full of yours if I could.
So if you have any that you have lying around, you know where to send them. Any comments very welcome.
Thanks

Shotgunsid, we're trying to keep our laws here as close to what they have been for years, but it's difficult with the anti-gun folks waiting for any chance to pass new restrictive gun laws. America was known as "the arsenal of democracy" during the Second World War, and we shipped many thousands of rifles and handguns to Britain to help keep the Germans from invading. After the war your brilliant politicians decided to dump all the loaned weapons in the ocean. Let's hope Germany stays friendly. I don't think we will be able to tool up again as we did in the 1940's.

It's a sad situation when you can only have a war relic that has been solidly welded up and parts of the receiver cut away. What a sad end to some fine pieces of history.
