In light of recent events, I can't imagine the Washington political machine approving the import of any number of firearms. And, particularly military surplus firearms. The Carbines are a dead fish I think because of the ease of conversion to full auto. The BATF must surely be aware of this situation. The M1icon's are a little more likely but only marginally so, in the best of times. This isn't the best of times by any stretch of the imagination.

Figure at least two years to change the administration even if the conservatives can win. With the recent actions of the conservative state legislatures, this is by no means as likely as it was in November.

I will apologize in advance if this violates the "politics" restriction on this board, but this IS a political matter. Either we face that fact or quit discussing the re-importation of these old firearms. Again, my apologies.
