Spent 23 years total in the reserves (split service). Ended the last 15 years in the seabees. First "tour" in 90-91 I was issued a straight up M16A1, 2nd tour '05 was issued a "Crane" special. Had an H&R lower, A1 upper, A2 barrel, and an A1 stock. It was 2 tone with a purple-ish looking lower. Man it was a tack driver and it was full auto. Had a Ranger try to trade me. 3rd tour I got an M4 that wa sfull auto too. Yeah, I worked with the SEALS. ..... Yeah, I was kind of a big deal......I fixed their toilets and shower......installed some Air conditioners for em.....drove them around the big base when they were in town.....Yeah.....I worked with the SEALS....Haha......Love your vids man.

Was at the office of a federal agency firearms instructor and he was showing me all the cool stuff in the safe and in the back I saw a garand. When he asked me what I wanted to take to the line, the newer stuff like the M4's or shotguns I said nah, grab that garand and let's go and he chuckled and said "yep, I woulda said the same thing", what a great rifle.
@Yarrb53 Жыл бұрын
I used to rehab old Garands, mostly cosmetic, bluing and stock resto. If you ran out of ammo, you could bludgeon the enemy to death. The guys who carried these in WWII (my Dad) usually weighed about 140 and 5' 8" these were real Men. The rifle plus battle load was a lot.

The A2s were issued to certain Marines in ‘84 and were ubiquitous by ‘87. ie one brother was in PI sept ‘84 the other in Feb ‘85, both qualified with A1 platform. One brother 0321 had A2 issued immediately. I was at PI March’87 we qualified with A2.
@loganbaileysfunwithtrains6069 ай бұрын
Yes, also it was the Marine command that pushed for the creation of the A2 rifle with a 3 round burst over the A1’s full auto, and wanted the overly complex iron sights so they could brag about having higher scores on the rifle qualification range. Which is the only thing I’d say I don’t like about the A2 ,the Canadians did it right with retaining the A1 style rear sight, they also saved something like $70 per rifle (at least that was the rumor)

The gun shop owner got it at a good price and made a hefty profit because of my input .

Enjoyed the video. Vietnam vet. Used the M-14 in 65/66 and issued M-16’s in late 66. My unit never had a problem with them. .30 Carbines were all over the place… our PF’s used them. Sometimes we did too. Also AK’s. The brass thought the ones that got away took the Ak’s with them. Not always so. Never liked the M-18. Also used 12 gauges with flèche darts to spray the perimeter wire at night. I was there early 65, 66, 67. You could ship your locked sea chest home back without inspection until early 67. Lot of stuff made it back. My fav 7.62 is the AR 10. My road rifle is an SPC 6.8. Just recently went to red dots. Otherwise I don’t put stuff on my combat rifles.
