The possibly to be repatriated Garands

[Mark in Rochester]

Had a professor at RIT that served in the Korean Military.
He indicated that they had rifles that were held in reserve that were in pristine condition and they trained with beat up rifles.
If hostilities ever broke out the reserve would be released.

lets hope that these are from the reserve - if it still exists

The fear of flooding the market and crushing values comes around every time a new bunch is imported. It doesn't happen. The junk gets hurt, the good stuff holds and then increases. More people get interested, then some decide they want "one of each maker." You know where that goes

I really don't worry at all about the value of my rifles. Makes no difference to me if they go up or down. Maybe this has to do with my age I have no intention of selling them in my lifetime. May make a trade now and then. I figure that when I check out the wife will sell them all at about $ 50.00 each anyway. That's about what I tell her I paid for a rifle when she catches me sneaking it in the door. What a way to have to live, but it keeps the peace.

I put the Value section on the GCA Data Sheet for exactly that reason -- fill it out and keep it up to date, your family will thank you if you die. If you need some, you can download them from the Supply Shack section of the web site for free (theGCA.org).

Thanks for the "Value Chart" Bob. I surely don't want to end up as a story such as Ricks, "Another War Story", at Garanditis.
