m2 carbines and adj. sights history

[usmc63]

Folks, here is a bit of info found in a book "A history of the 83rd infantry division 1942-1945". A section concerning the 783d Ordnance Co. states that 2500 carbines were modified to fire automatically and all the carbines in the division were modified with the new qdjustable rear sights previous to crossing the Roer River. This crossing was made 2/23/45.

Some busy armorers, there. We often talk about combat troops and for the most part they were the ones in danger, but we forget about the support troops in Ordnance, Signal, Transport and the other troops who made it possible for the front line fighters to do their jobs.
