The books mentioned are just a yardstick to use in evaluating a particular rifle. With over 70 years having passed since the M1s first inception, there are too many variables to consider when...

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. It might be 10 years before the CMP gets them, if at all...

Not ususual for soldiers in 1944 to wear leggings. The M1943 Combat boot was phased in over many months since 1943. More than likely, these soldiers had not received their M1943 Boots as yet.

I like the knocked-out Panzer the guys are standing in front of. They might have taken out the tank and posed in front of it. Nice picture...

Neat video!!!

Kept thinking of the old WC Fields routine in the movie "It's a Gift".

Must be early WW2, because of the helmets.

JJK-

It is great to have some personal history to tie in with the picture!! Thank you and thank your father for his service to our Country.

My Father was in Co. "E", 2nd Battalion, 290th Infantry, 75th ID. I've had a copy of the picture above but lost it when my computer nosedived. Tried in vain to find it again...

Thank you - Thank...

Reminds me of Groucho Marx famous line from the movie "Go West with the Marx Brothers" - "How they handle all this stuff and ride a horse at the same time is beyond me"!!

That is one neat picture!!!

I'll add my prayers as well...

I have a late Inland that was manufactured (in March, 1945) just prior to the conversion to M2. The Carbine Receiver ring (which is the key) has a hand stamped "1" just after the "M". Because it is...

In today's world, I would be extremely careful of who I let into my home, much less sell a firearm to.

I am not surprised about the older couple being so trusting of everyone. Many older folks...

Probably the M1 that Lee Harvey Oswald qualified with, and/or JFKs personal M1.

Nice picture. Good overview of WW2 firepower.

Really would like to get the 37mm Anti-tank gun...

Bought a nice 38h about a year ago. Dealer claimed it was reblued although can't find any evidence of that. It is an early piece with a low serial number. Mostly issued to the Fallschirmjagers...

A member of the 327th GIR, judging by the trefoil (clubs) on his helmet. One lucky man!!

Beautiful video!! Cried while watching it. I thought of all the folks who sacrificed so much for US!!!

The USA isn't about the obamination, peelosi, reid or any of those idiot politicians (even...

It would appear that the M1 is canted to the side. The picture might be of the Slapton Sands Training exercise just prior to Normandy rather than Normandy itself.

We've been getting alot of calls trying to sell us "extended warranty coverage" on our cars. We ask the caller if this is a "telemarketing call" (it is), to which they immediately answer that they...

The diagonal cut does not affect shooting the M1. There are several books (ie Duff, Harrison, etc) which detail the diagonal cut on the gas cylinder. Your rifle's serial number indicates that the...

Those rifles ARE M1884 trapdoor rifles!!

My Great Uncle, Charles York Judson, served with the 9th NY. Chhttp://pages.prodigy.net/oldchl/9thcyjudson.jpg

I found it strange that the assistant BAR man would be carrying an M1. I had thought they'd be carrying an M1 Carbine, due to weight.

Fascinating Picture!!

I cannot tell, but does the first guy in line on the left side have on a BAR Belt?
If so, why is he carrying an M1?

Saw the previews of Mythbusters. By the way, it appears that the two tanks were an M38 Hellcat and an M5 Stuart. Interesting...
