    At the end of the article: Sell for $220"??? I'll take three!!!
    It doesn't matter how scary, ugly, uncomfortable, or inconvenient self defense can be. Like it or not, you will never, ever be relieved of your duty and responsibility to defend your life, your family, your country and your freedom.

    How much ammo do I need? Enough to last me the rest of my life, and then lot more for later.

      Betcha that's what SK is selling them to the importers for, not what the end price is gonna be. The CMP will probably still be the better deal, I doubt these M1s will be in fantastic shape.

        True. Very true.

          M1 carbine != assault weapon. Are you serious that they won't allow the importation of the Mini-14 I mean M1 Carbine???

          ETA: nevermind
          She noted that the U.S. government, however, rejected Seoul’s proposal to export some 600,000 M1 Carbines, which were also used in the Korean War, as they come with a magazine that can carry multiple rounds unlike the Garands.

            It's for the children, we gotta protect the children!!!!


            What better way to protect children from evil deeds than with a M1 Carbine.

            Hell, let the kids protect themselves should the adults fall. A Carbine is manageable by a 9 year old. I know my neighbor's kid is a good shot with his Carbine and he's 9
