Does this mean the M1 Carbines and Garands from South Korea should be coming in?

It's not likely with this administration, but the issue is a perfect example of why the right can't compromise with the left, i.e. the left can't or doesn't debate honestly. Take your pick. They are either ignorant or evil, possibly both.

They deliberately conflate the two different M1s. M1 Garands can't accept external maagazines without serious modification and Browning Automatic Rifle or custom made magazines for 30-06 ammo, a seroius, fully powered .30 caliber round. The Garands should be here already as the gun grabbers objection about accepting high capacity magazines doesn't apply.

I believe M1 carbines fit the left's bogus definition of "assault weapons" because 30 round magazines are not uncommon, even though the .30 caliber M1 carbine round is seriously underpowered. I wouldn't be surprised if they call the standard 15 round magazine as high capacity.

BTW, for me as a 12 or 13 year old kid from NYC in the middle of the 1960s, the M1 Carbine was a great introduction to firearms. One of my best friend's brother took us to the Blue Trail Range in Wallingford, CT, on a fall school holiday! About 100 rounds of Carbine ammo plus maybe a half dozen 30-06 rounds through his brother's cheap gov't surplus. IIRC, his brother got the Springfield for $15 and the Carbine for $30.

You write sad truth neverdem. There would be no argument for the left at all if they would just stop deliberately misinterpretting the 2A.

Similar youth as you, and no hearing protection either.
