There is a lot,, well off base information in this post. The only blocking caps ever welded were on the NM rifles and they were soldered not welded. I still see them now and again at our local range at Ft. Ord. About 1/3 of the rifles in my company had the selector lever installed. We operated around DakTo and Kontum during what we called the mountian battles that raged from October 1967 and tapered off late May 1968 and if you wanted it I put it on for you as I had boxes of them and there was no wrench but a pin punch did the job. Last, with a little practice you could learn to keep a short burst on,,, well the target we will call it today to remain PC and the area was thick with targets. It was called training back then followed by some OJT.
