seriously what percentage of US service rifles have importer marks?
|
I have 2 M1 rifles, 1 03A3, and 1 GI M1 carbine. 1 M1 rifle and the carbine are re-imports, at least they are stamped so. So, in my safe, 50% have import marks.
The rifle was probably from Korea, which was not "loaned" rifles so they were not returned and sold thru CMP. Korea sold them commercially.
If you are thinking about buying one, get in the queue now, do not wait for them to open up the retail stores again. While some turn up at clubs or overseas, there are no warehouses full of rifles anywhere other than CMP; when they are gone, that's it.
You do not have to shoot a highpower or NRA match; any shooting activity qualifies. There is a form you can get from CMP (or the website) that lists the requirements.
