Plainfield Plant Robbed 1967

[painter777]

Since Plainfield was brought up I thought I'd add this.

In 1967 the Plainfield Machine Co plant was broken in to with 46 Carbines stolen.
Shortly afterward Firemen and Police were on the receiving end of sniper fire from the rooftops. With the Police being under gunned, Plainfield management loaned 50 Carbines to Police battling snipers, looters and rioters.

Story titled: Guns of Riots starts on pages 22, 23-24 and concludes on page 69.

Another story written (IMO) with some brown nose flare, but may interest some is about the *New Universals.*
Titled: New Look of the M1 Carbine
Starts on page 42, 43 then on to 53 to 56.
