Stand by for any piece of junk, mixmasters etc. being hyped up by sellers as "Korean war heritage"!

Patrick

Yeah i agree but did you notice the old "stopping power and quilted coats" mis information again.......!!!!!

So who bought them the CMP or the regular heavy handed barrel stamping guys?

Key phrase, "Korean war rifles sold back to US". There is something wrong with this!

Agreed Bill.......
Just not right.

According to Orest, the CMP has nothing to do with these "returns"

I have a very decent Win that came from Korea about 30? years ago and sold by the gent that now runs "U.S. Armory". He sold a bunch of them for under $200 (forget actual price I paid). Maybe these will be ok as well, but it'll surely bring down market prices. Good for those buying, not so good for those wanting to sell.

From 1989 to about 2001 my FFL was under the name of US Armory. I was located in Soda Springs, Sonora, then Merced CA. I sold UZI, Carbine, and AR stuff, as well as a bunch of Blue Sky imported carbines. I don't think that I am the one you are talking about, though.

I would get them for $125 each from RSR and some other wholesalers. I sold them for about $159-$169 at gunshows... Those were the days. In the pre internet days, I had a standing add in Shotgun News from 89 to 92.

Cheaper if you bought them in lots of 100 guns, $89.
