Can't see a scope, just the hider. It must be cold if they have the flaps down on the Pyle caps, you would sweat your ears off if it wasn't.

Looks like two BAR's, one with carry handle and bi-pod, one without either.

The shouldered BAR doesn't have a bi-pod.

The shouldered BAR is an M1918 and the carried BAR is an M1918A2. The M1918A1 has the bi-pod mounted on the forestock and gas tube.

Are you sure Bill? I doubt there were any 1918's left by Korea. I'm sure they're both 1918A2s, one with the bipod and flash hider removed.

Korea BARs
In Caidin's book he describes how they loved to take BARs on patrol because of their firepower and stripped them down as much as possible for weight reduction. One guy even cut the barrel down but gave it up because of the fearsome muzzle blast and blinding flash.
