Nice clear M2 pic.

Its not much but there is a Garand there

[browningautorifle]

there is a Garand

No, that's OK. The pic of the M2 is hard to find and usually not a clearly an M2. This one's unmistakable and shows the 30rd mag isn't even a concern. I never liked them either. The 15's were always perfect.

Not sure if that's the shell case at 14:00 just to the Rt of the front sight (Or pic error) who ever they are slinging lead at is up high, possibly sniper!!!

That line unless there are vehicles out of sight on the left it would make a bit of a juicy target for an MG 42 operator.

MG 42

It's Korea. "Street Fighting in Seoul Korea, September 1950 From the LIFE Magazine Archives - Hank Walker Photographer"

Hard to say what he's takin' a poke at.

I don't think the North Koreans or Chinese used the MG42 much, if at all.

On the other hand a friend of mine...long gone now, told me he DID see mostly Japanese weapons while he was there. I thought that was interesting.

Looks to me like a bird was sitting on that wire and in the act of flying off as the pic was taken.

Please tell us Garand guys how you know it's an M2.
