Any chance korean carbines

[DaveN]

I still hear rumors that Korean Garands and Carbines might hit our shores. I've also heard they may be in rough shape. I went to CMP south and almost bought a carbine and later ordered and got one of the last ones WHEW. now I would like to get another one or three or nine........ it beats investing in stocks or gold. I consider investments I can go shoot if I get bored.

yea in my dreams...

but in all seriousness, ive read that they have decided on letting a small sample of carbines through and test the "collectability" of them. latest article i can find is here:

There is a small secondary market for carbines, if you just have to have one now and then.

What are the conditions of these carbines, and how are they stored. And if they flood the market does this bring the price of our carbines down

topaz-

first off ill go ahead and so i dont own any carbines because any carbines now are too darn expensive for me to afford.

with that said i think that it may bring the carbine prices down a little even if they are beat up but more realistically it may bring the carbine part prices down since i am assuming that some of those korean carbine may still have old (instead of the latest) parts in them.
