Have not found any charred channels as of yet. What people miss is a GI could not carry enough ammo to char the channel in battle. I am betting that happened at base or from some screwing around or other reasons. If a GI was able to run enough round through to light the channel on fire it would be frowned on.
Now maybe what happened is a few used old motor oil or something that was flammable to oil the stock and it caught fire. I speed ran 300 rounds through a Garand once that was freshly oiled. Seen allot of smoke off the barrel but the stock was fine. Charred battle rifles are pretty rare from all the wood I seen and again were they from battle? You would need unlimited ammo and that just didn't happen. Rick B

Bill, it is the 70th Infantry Trailblazers. I contacted their group to see if by chance the artist is still alive. Rick
