Now there are a good number of those floating around E. Asia from what I’ve heard. Mostly S. Korea. If CMP can just get them back here...

Taiwan. They not only received thousands of M14 rifles, they got the tooling and dies from TRW and Winchester, and produced their own versions, as the Type 57. Now they make their own 5.56mm version of the M4, the Type 95, and might be persuaded to turn loose of some of their old obsolete Yankee rifles, still sometimes seen in ROC parades and military reviews. But then so too are their Type 24 Mauser '98 rifles, the first modern military rifles in production for the ROC at their three primary arsenals when they were still located on the Chinese mainland.
