Winter GCA Journal
Putting the finishing touches on the Winter issue, but probably still a couple of weeks from the printer. However, some good stuff in this one... the Featured Rifle is a 1.3 SA picked up by a farmer in the Hurtgen Forest. The author is a Dutch collector who specializes in battlefield pick-ups and other left-behinds, like an M1
Carbine that fell off a truck in Holland! Lots of other neat stuff, too. You will like this one.

What year would that have been then? I know the guys that were in at the change from .303 to 7.62 had US rifles issued at times and odd locations to be able to draw ammo through the US system. This would have been between '56 and "60 roughly...Europe, when down Stateside doing the Nuclear training...

He was sent to Colorado to do nuke stuff and then he was in the Canadian nuke program after Europe.
He thought we should have built our own! Since we have the material and know how to do it since 1945. The UK
got it from us, so did most of the people who bought can du reactors, bomb grade product..Did a term paper on
it back when.
