FWIW there was a two page spread advertising "The Pacific" in several national magazines . The two or three carbines in the foreground DID NOT have bayonet lugs i was pleased to note.

It wasn't possible to tell whether they had the late model or early model magazine catch so for the time being I'll keep my strongly worded letter to the producers held in abeyance.

Just keep repeating .."Its only a movie..only a movie......"
