I think redhawk is likely more correct than he suspects.
CMP likely isn't involved because as I understand it, the US sold the machinery to Korea who then manufactured the rifles for their own use as opposed to the other rifles CMP has handled which were all technically "on loan" to the various other countries and were returned to the Defense Department when they were no longer needed. So, in essence, in the tortured world of international arms dealing all the CMP rifles were just US rifles that were surplus to our own defense needs. The Korean rifles however would not be US rifles returned from loan and thus would have to be imported as foreign surplus through licensed importers into the commercial market.
I have been wrong before, so it will come as no surprise if the above is all complete hogwash.
