Yes, it is required by Federal Law.I have a Q will the imported M1's have a import mark on them
since they were made in America?

Knowledge is "Garand". Ok, that was stupid.
I know I missed the boat on CMP Garands years ago when a service grade was $400. If these korean M1's show up around that price regardless of condition I'll buy one. If they come in cheap enough, I'll buy two.
It's ok to love the AR-15 and Garand at the same time. They each have their time and place. The 30-06 AP ammo brings a little something else to the party though.
30-06 AP ammo through 1.25" of steel. Point still sharp.
There's always going to be something to be said for a quality semiauto 30-06. I don't even know where you can buy that ammo, but if I'm not mistaken it should be able to be fired out of any modern 30-06 as well correct?
I have a Garand from Korea that I bought 15 years ago. I got lucky and all of the serial numbers match. I bought it for 100.00. Shoots great. Still has the Korean sling. I re-finished the wood in a low gloss. I couldn't guess what's it worth now.
Probably 5 to 600 bucks.

So you think a import stamped Korean M1 is worth double than what you can get a service grade from CMP? I see no logic in this.
lrahm, the only serial # on a M1 is on the heal of the receiver, There are drawing numbers on the op rod, trigger group(and parts) , barrel etc.
lrahm, my post to you was more a FYI. There are books (maybe web sites) that will tell you for XXXX serial # the op rod should be XXX and so on.
I think you got a hell of a deal on the M1 for $100. I have an Arlington Ord. M1 (import) that I've had for years and there's not a thing wrong with it. I also have a CMP field grade.
