There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Stacking swivels were sometimes removed or else they were taped. Ref: Billy Pyle's book "Ordnance Tools, Accessories & Appendages of the M1 Rifle" page 67 lists Tape. cellulose muzzle cover Stock No 53_T-1085 Expendable. This black tape was used on the muzzle or stacking swivel or sling swivels while on patrol
Interesting that all of the M1's on display of glider troops in Holland had the sling swivel removed. It seems to have been SOP to reduce rattle.
Bob - maybe only the 101st? Below Picture is 82nd perhaps D-Day vs Market garden?
