Agree with Chris...they were loaned out
The ones that were sold end up being imported back- these rifles have import marks.
You will not be seeing any import marks on a CMP rifle; the rifles were returned to the owner- the US Government
I have a photo on my PC at work of an M1 in-theater (don't know if it's Afghanistan or Iraq, I will assume Iraq due to their WWII participation but who knows where it was) of a US serviceman holding up an M1 that was captured from enemy troops. Photo's a couple years old
