Vella Lavella. Infantrymen of Co. "I" await the word to advance in pursuit of retreating Japanese forces. Stepping Stone Island on the Vella Lavella Island Front, Southwest Pacific. (13 Sep 43) Signal Corps Photo: 161-43-4081 (Schuman)
Flush nut rear sight in late 1943. When was the production switch? Looks like a gas trap with the guy in front. Just goes to show that what was correct on the front line and the production line were not the same.
Gas trap and the other rifle looks like a no trap stock. Very cool!!!
