I don’t see that the current administration would have any interest in bringing back these American made rifles back home. May wait to see what happens on Tuesday. A strong constitutional ticket would certainly help. As much as people may not like the idea, NRA and GOA would be the people to find the right ears. I’d have to…

We are currently hard at work in the background arranging the return of our M1 Garands from WWII, which ended up in South Korea.

We need buy-in from the White House and the Department of State, as well as their Korean counterparts. We have buy-in from every entity EXCEPT the White House.

This has been the issue for the last…

We have heard word that the first M1 Korea bidding will begin sometime around the end of the year. We want to be a part of the bid.
