Local regulations and websites have conflicting information.

I think this question is two questions.
1. Can you import weapons into Korea. The answer is YES. For Soldiers, it must be on your orders. So there is preparation work their.
2. If you import, there is storage standards, and that will be on base storage.

I read in USFK Reg it is allowed if weapon was on your orders. Then on USAG Daegu page I see it says dont bring a weapon. Then I find information about registering weapon 72 hours after arriving with PMO and storing it in unit arms room upon arrival. Hard to find a straight answer.

Uh, I’m not a SME. I don’t know the answer. All I know is that when my HHG arrived in 2011 the on post “customs” guy came and in my pro gear was some Magazines (M16/9) and he wanted to confiscate them. I laughed my ass off and told him to get the hell out of my room. He obliged.

I need to add that he was a Korean National and I think he believed I was trying to build weapons or something lol.

Not that I’m a Soldier or anything lol
