Yup its true Mr. Bush has over ridden Slick Willy on his import ban on the american lend lease arms so we have just received some korean garands and carbines. We should see them offered soon but the prices i'm not sure about yet. The place in VT/Fla. will have them.

Hmm, that mark is on my Yugo. Always wondered what the deal was. 10 seconds in Google did the trick. So do must milsurps come into the US through big distributers and then go to smaller dealers like where I bouight my SKS from?
My Winny carbine is probably my favorite rifle. It packs a pretty good wallop and is really easy on the shooter. It's a real blast to use !
I wish I could afford more....one of each make would be nice.

The Imports are Coming !!!
The CMP does no importing. The rifles they sell were on loan by the US Gov. to various countrys . The were returned to US Army depots and than distributed to the CMP as GI surplus for resale to fund CMP shooting programs. They are 100% GI or to GI standards.
The "wonderful" imports by companys like the mentioned "Vermont" company are often made up of of substandard parts and castings , that can be worn surplus , poor castings and foreign manufactured parts, assembled in the importers shops, or outside of the country. You get what you payfor. They will function thats all thats required.

But in all seriousness and somewhat back on topic, I've been looking for a nice worn and beat up Garand to do a .308 Tanker conversion on.

From what I've heard (and IANAL, so...) there are C&R machine guns. They're just as rare as non C&R machine guns (read: just as expensive) and you still need the machine gun license (in MA) and the BATFE stamp (anywhere).
