Springfield 03 sniper and BAR in the same photo. Very nice post.

Is the first Marine an assistant BAR man?

Looks like it.

LoL! At first I thought they were stadium lights and thought what the hell are they doing there!! then realized the "lights" are insulators.. My modern day mind at work there....


Is that a Bazooka rocket directly below the fellow with the A4,, just in front of the log?

Thats not a A4...Its a 1903 with a 8X inertal (sp)

Yeah, when the South was upgrading to either underground lines or large trunks and there were miles and miles of these poles along the highway, we'd climb up and grab an insulator or two as an ornament. I used to have a collection.

Did you guys ever take shots at them? Looks like you could make a fun game to pass the time poppin them things...lol

Nope. They are very heavy glass so you'd want to do it with a high power rifle to get some reaction! :)
