Because its an accurate bolt action battle tested rifle you can jump out of a helicopter with and not bust your nuts when you land because its so compact.

lets see the practice rifle, some of those 22 cal versions of actual Gov. Issue rifles are kinda cool.
I sold off an Allison Aircraft engine manual a few years ago. it had belonged to my great uncle, still had the original wartime "Win the War" postage on the packaging. I didn't need it and the guy who bought it was an old aircraft mechanic and he was thrilled to get it.Last edited by FusionFarmer; 04-15-2007, 09:55 AM.I say the boy ain't right!

I have my dad's WWII bayonet and that's it. His M-1 and Colt 1911 along with most of his WWII stuff disappeared from a storage room on the side of our house. The bayonet is stamped 1906 and has a 16" blade which is double-edged for the last 6". I'm not really sure it is a WWII period-correct bayonet, he died when I was 11 and I never asked that detailed question. Seems like they were shorter by WWII.
Then too, he was a mechanic and tail gunner on a B-17 so he was not that likely to use the small arms he was issued.
He'd be 93 if he were alive today....Ron is the MAN!!!!
