Anybody have any recent news/insight on the status of the Garands stuck in S. Korea?
Last I heard they will be there for a while. Good news is some of the 1911's will be available soon.
I heard that Obama signed an executive order (with his pen and phone) barring their import to the USA. Pending Congress passing a bill and then overriding his veto, we will have to wait until this POS Obama is gone.
Even then there is no guarantee. It's the same deal that we see with the importation of Kalashnikov Concern's offerings and 7n6 5.45x39mm surplus ammo.
Well, I am pretty sure most Republicans would revoke Obama's executive order. I know Rubio, Perry, Cruz, Walker, Paul, Trump, Christie, Carson and Huckabee have already said they would retract it. And I bet all the rest would also, with the possible exception of Bush. They just have not been asked yet.

P.S., I have pretty much decided I am going to pull the trigger on that CIA C39V2 as soon as I have funds available. I have a new contract starting 9/15!

And that reminds me, I should take my M1 Garand (.308) to McMiller next trip...
