Israeli Civil Defense Use of M1 Carbines

We talked about this a couple years ago too, it sounds like the ones carrying them now are more like a neighborhood watch sort of group. We have a member here that was IDF or some offshoot...he was talking about it. Wonder why she couldn't get the mag pouch any further down...

I remember some of those old threads too, Jim. I have that same picture of the teacher on the field trip with her class - but without the IDF image affixed to it. It looks like it's easy to confuse the use of M1 Carbines in Israel with the "AR" type Carbines. I think this might be one of the older threads you were thinking of: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=15885 - Bob
