InterOrdnance Bringing in C&R Guns from Africa

Dry rot then, did you see the storage shacks?

Reminds me, did those rifles from Korea ever make it to the CMP?

Ethiopa ain't exactly jungle.

Not jungle, but in the video they're in an open air shack with literal goats in the shed. Not exactly pristine storage conditions.

People won't really care though. Imagine the pants-crapping if these were Garands. And Ethiopia's got Garands from the Korean War, which they fought in. You can bet they've got Garands somewhere. We can't get them though because of the "if it was made here, it can't return here" law/XO/tariff.

The Korean Garands are from my understanding owned by the korean government. CIA actually won the bid for those but Obama squashed that deal .
CMP recieved garands from the Philippines because they where loaned to the philppines ny the US Army. So anything on loan returned to US Army can get sold through cmp

Nothing stacked on pallets in un-conditioned air is perfect for storage, but Ethiopia is arid and consistent. It's pretty much like the mythical "salt caves" we've joked about previous huge milsurp caches coming from.

The (one) goat was only there after the doors were opened.

Yes, the worst part of this deal is that most of it will get sold through Sweaty Ben for outrageous prices, by people eager to pay because it's the last big find ever.

Until the next one.

This isn't being advertised as "the last big one" by InterOrdnance, just Sweaty Ben because Sweaty Ben. The video in OP says that this is the first batch coming out of Africa and guns are going to start trickling in. "Africa", not "Ethiopia", implying other countries are selling surplus. Is it going to be enough to drive down prices on surplus guns? Probably will depend on the election.

The only thing that will drive down prices is if people dont buy them.

Here's some of the guns coming out of Ethiopia, a Kar. 88 and G88:

Rifles of Emperor Menelik II: Ethiopian Gewehr 88 and Karabiner 88
