Good question. I believe I remember that there was a large cache of carbines that had been prohibited from import. Anyway, this is good news but, with the current administration, I'll hold my excitement until the CMP sends out the sales notice....
According to the email I got from the CMP (which I can’t find) they will not be involved with these M1s. These will be sold thru private dealers (SOG, J&G, etc.) only.
