Reply to "Nahhhh. They don't want our guns...."

Such as...my daddy served in the Navy in the South Pacific during WWII.  He told me stories of Marines who had been issued rifles rifled with only 2 lands and grooves, basically one step above the smoothbores of 1812.  Could not be, I thought.

 

Then in the early 1960's when you could mail order military surplus shipped directly to your home, I like so many others ordered a Remington made M1903.  Paid $35.  And as some of these two groove rifles began to appear, the stories began to surface in some of the, as Jank describes it, gun p o r n magazines.  Accusations were made of sub contractors taking short cuts and endangering our troops.

 

My comment 4 or 2 was meant to be sarcastic as the 2 groove was approved.  It may not be a tack driver, but suitable for battlefield zero and proved it's worth against anything the Japs could throw at it including themselves.  Like Dire said...greeting the Axis.
