The hold-up is simple:
CMP says they are MAP and therefore ours, the Koreans say these are guns they bought. No serial lists of MAP guns, so the dispute goes on.

Sorry, Badger, didn't see your request to drop the subject
No problem Bob ...
The only reason that this topic survives at all on our collector oriented site, is the fact that the content does have a some specific interest and orientation to Garands (an old milsurp), so the moderators tend to let all of them run until they begin to degrade into political rhetoric, anger and frustration, which I can personally relate to living in Canada with our own draconian gun laws.
Regards,
Doug

The CMP's rule of one rifle a lifetime really was nice not to have dealers selling 900.00 or 1,000 dollar M1's they get from the CMP at 600.00 like they do now. Oh well.
JR you really sound like your talking from years of experiance. You talk , I listen.

There are a few dealers out there who still abide by the original DCM/CMP rule. I happen to be one of them.

"The CMP's rule of one rifle a lifetime really was nice not to have dealers selling 900.00 or 1,000 dollar M1's they get from the CMP at 600.00 like they do now. Oh well. " Actually the "CMP's rule" was in fact the DCM's rule. I THINK the US Army determined that rule and then allowed 1200 rifles to be shipped per year. It took me 5 years to get my Garand. My DCM Garand came from Rock Island, not Anniston. Of course no dealer got anything in thoses days. Everything is different today.

Bodyman, did they pack other arms like that? If I found one or more(just one of those recurring dreams I have) cans and opened them and had Thompsons and Bars, well thats how the dream becomes a nightmare, and I end up with a lot of freshly dug holes in my back yard.
For all you members, $30(price subject to inflation) makes you a contributing member. I think this great site is worth it.
