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

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

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.

Try it left handed.

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.

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.

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