thats an M1 carbine i believe, but im not sure. i know it isnt an M14, the greatest rifle ever crafted by the hand of man.
the lack of a gas cylinder, the curved magazines and the position of the bayonet lug are dead giveaways.
sorry dylboz, not trying to trump our favorite librarian.

My Uncle Cliff spent two of his three combat tours in the Brown Water Navy. He said he couldn't have made it without San Miguel beer.CassanovaFrankennietzsche wrote:Brown water navy

If the army used that pic as a poster, they might have made their recruitment goals.CassanovaFrankennietzsche wrote:Brown water navy

Re: A picture from VietNam
I think you mean the Navy. Incidentally, Franken, is this a picture of you, or just a picture you have? Either way, it's a great shot of what our troops should be doing. As long as booze, women, and defending my country are their three top priorities, all's good.Agaveman wrote:If the army used that pic as a poster, they might have made their recruitment goals.

You're right, my bad...I fail the Libertarian gun nut whack-job challenge. I didn't look too hard, saw the wood stock and the lack of a flash supressor and figured it was an M-14. Wishful thinking, I guess. I fired a mini-14 once, and it had a curved magazine, so I think that played a part in the deception.grimace308 wrote:thats an M1 carbine i believe, but im not sure. i know it isnt an M14, the greatest rifle ever crafted by the hand of man.

To be fair the Mini 14 really is just a.. well... Mini M-14. And as an mini 14 owner I can say its a pretty crappy gun as anything except a plinker. M-1, M-14, M-1 carbine, Mini14... very similar. M-1 and M-14 are the only ones worth a fuck. Gimme an AR over a Mini or M1 carbine any day. BTW the AR wasbought to replace the M-1carbine for AF security. It was never meant for use in the jungle.Dylboz wrote:You're right, my bad...I fail the Libertarian gun nut whack-job challenge.

It also looks like he has a Mike Force patch on his hat, so he could just be hitching a ride on the river. No matter what, it's cool as hell. My pop has a slide of him on top of a bunker, in a lawn chair, holding a schlitz with like 8 empties laying around him. I always wanted to get that made into a photo.Messenger wrote:I think you mean the Navy. Incidentally, Franken, is this a picture of you, or just a picture you have?

Nah, just a picture I found. Well, could be me in a past life, I guess.

That would be easy if you have any access to a scanner witht the right hardware. We have them here; the HP ones are called "TMAs" and they back light any slide and you scan away.Combat Rock wrote: I always wanted to get that made into a photo.

Notice what they have just unloaded.
By the way, the title of this picture actaully is "Beer Run."
