rifles and helmets

[AlaskanGal]

Thanks you guys for all the information. Marion, the article is very interesting, I wonder how many more surprises will be found in years to come.

Joe, I'm recently an owner of a M1 Garand also. I think these rifles were made for people with muscles, it was surprising how heavy they are! In pictures all the young men make it look like it was nothing to carry a rifle, plus the heavy weight of their knap-sack and march too! I'm glad to see you on the board again, it's missing your interesting messages these days. Please tell us more.
