That's great news. Unfortunately, the Obama Administration is still blocking the importation of over 700,000 M-1 carbines. American history melted down as scrap because of gun-haters.
You guys should watch the 1952 movie about the inventor of the M-1 carbine, who designed and built the rifle by hand while serving time in prison. I kid you not. It will blow your mind. The guy designed the rifle in his head and built the rifle out of scrap while in prison.
"Carbine Williams" (1952) Starring Jimmy Stewart:
"This is the story of David Marshall 'Marsh' Williams, the real life inventor of the world famous M-1 Carbine automatic riffle used in WWII. It all started when Marsh, who was one to do things his way, was caught distilling moonshine, and was accused and convicted of shooting a federal officer in the process. This at first placed him in the chain gang which labeled him as a hard case. Later, to make room for those more deserving, he was moved to a prison farm, where he came under the direction of Captain H.T. Peoples. The Captain was a mild mannered warden, who did not shy from discipline when necessary, but also believed that given the opportunity, most men will respond to good. Believing that Marsh was just such a person, the Captain gave him every opportunity to reform, so much so, that he eventually allowed Marsh to work in the tool shop on his spare time to develop and build by hand, a working rifle, inside the prison farm itself."
