I saw South Vietnamese soldiers carrying the M-1 carbines with the 20 round mags, if you went down to the Flight-line when they were being deployed to the bush you could trade a cartoon of Kool cigarettes for their M-1 carbines. No joke.
probably buried along with thousands of tons of perfectly good military machinery so different forts would be able to get brand new equipment in their inventory.

I love my Garand. 1944 Springfield. Mint condition. Prized possession.

Tragic. We peasants aren't even allowed to buy weapons we paid for in the first place.
