    I have seen and handled the M1icon Rifle with I. R. scope, it is heavy, awkward and tends to lean to the left side. I also had the chance
    many years ago to view the I.R. on a issue M1 carbine (not M2) during a dark night. range was very limited

    IR

    A guy I worked with was a Marine sniper in Nam and was using the IR device on an M14icon. He was up in a tree scanning the woodline across a rice paddy when a round hit the IR unit dead center and knocked him out of the tree. The Charlie evidently had a Dragunov scope with IR detector so the unit was like shining a searchlight. If he had aimed a little below the light source he would have hit the Marine in the head. He never used it again.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Danish Infrared Night Vision M1 Garand welded scope mount example

    Good Day All,
    These pictures were provided by another collector (Andy Skizzo Bertelli). The chin weld (or higher) requirement appears to make a "precision" shot questionable. The m/65 scope data plate bears the crown and HTK markings indicating the Hærens Tekniske Korps, or Danishicon Army Technical Corps.

    Regards,
    Mike

    IR device used by the Danishicon army, but made in Germanyicon. So I wonder if the Bundeswehr ever used it as well.
