See.....there were many sides to this firearm. Standing along at a range with a bunch of guys around, shooting was fun. I enjoyed mine very much and it was very pretty with it's wood stock. Then there was the other side of this rifle; frozen along with the trooper who clutched it, trying to get a round off that wasn't as powerful as a .45 in the first place and wondering if we'd see another warm meal while on our bellies in Korea in the Winter.
Seems to me that it's got a wildly varied history. If it had spend all of its time in the jungles maybe the historical reference would be different. And, it make the M1 Garand all that much more spectacular.
