The Civilian Marksmanship Program may receive 86,000 repatriated M1 Garand rifles from the Philippine government.

According to an M1 Garand collectors group, a large group of loaned rifles are being processed by the U.S. Army to be shipped back to the United States. ...

These the same ones the Obama administration blocked from entry in 2009 due to their stance that Garands magically take a “high capacity magazine”?

[Axenolith]

Those were in Korea iirc, and there were something like 800,000, hope they come too!

[Bayan]

I have a Garand, now I want a Carbine. Any of those in the Philippines? I know there’s a bunch in Korea.

[BwanaNdege]

Thousands of thumbs await their fate.

Now THAT is funny! (Even if it did go right over the heads of nearly everyone on the Forum)

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Hope this administration lets them bring in those Carbines and 1911’s that Obama blocked.

The last batch of Carbines CMP had went super fast.

Hillary and that scumbag Chuck Schumer would have figured out a way to use funds appropriated for something else to buy them back, chop them up, and make a video of it to raise funds.

I used to have the back half of a chopped up M1 for a paper weight in my office. It was destroyed during the (Bill) Clinton administration. It was there to remind me of who (all) Democrats really are, and what they will do if they ever get real power.

Thanks

Just under a million M1's stashed away in SKor. warehouses. I lost the link to the article.

Try it left handed.

General George S. Patton:

“In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”

About 10-12 years ago there was a photo going around the internet of a storage shed in Vietnam that had burned. All around the ashes were laying about fifteen to twenty burned Thompson sub machine guns, ruined.

I do believe several members of that firearm forum wanted to cry.
I have read that the Egyptian Government still has thousands of Remington Rolling Blocks and Remington single action revolvers in their arsenals, all in pristine shape.
Who knows what other goodies are hidden in back alleys and dark places in the world.

Thanks but I will be able to obtain one thru my
Sportsmen club and fire it there, as well.

[Sivad]

Ouch! Hurts thinking about it.

In the olden days army surplus rifles and handguns were sold back to the public because such items were considered “Public Property”, bought with tax money from the public.

[Darksheare]

Copy that.
That episode from the Brak regime was...bizarre.

In America? Wow, about time. Wish I lived there but I’m in NJ.
