Also there was the Australian field mod of the SLR during Viet Nam. The SLR barrel was cut back to the front sight and modified to fire full auto. Sometimes the
L2A1 thirty round magazine was used...
I have also seen a few photos of the M60 m/g where the barrel was shortened135255135256

Models are 1/4 scale
some German WW1 fighters like the D3, triplane & D7 used black and white stripes as a very effective camouflage.

I have some mid WW2 newsletters from Buffalo Arms, came out every three or four months, mostly information about employee's, bowling teams etc. Buffalo Arms made M1 rifle and carbine barrels plus...
always stated that lend lease M1 rifles went to Cuba too, may still be there along with some Johnson rifles

How many carbines sell in the 5K to 10K price range ? while a nice restored or original 1940 M1 rifle will sell in this price range,...

I have always thought the same thing but impossible to prove !
Some "dogfights" between French Curtiss Hawks and US Navy Wildcats too
