Winchester m97 & m1912 rebuild arsenals

[CapnJohn]

The 97 was officially not used in Nam, however MANY guys have reported using them and there are indeed pictures.

Well, we had tommy guns, grease guns, Swedish K's, Danish Madsen's, Schmeisers, M2 carbines w/ M1 carbine folding stocks, French submachine guns and on one operation picked up a Czech submachine gun less than 2 months out of the factory. Literally truckloads were picked up from the 'Yards and returned for cleaning, storage. Even had a single shot crossbow with multiple arrows in the quiver!!
Doc Pena out of Qui Nhon got shot by an arrow and received a Purple Heart for that. Probably the first soldier since the Indian Wars to do so!!
