Didn’t they give a lot of Garands as part of the Vietnamization program? Dropped once I’m sure. The rifles were bigger than ARV troops.

Headaches.
THANKS

Bought a Luger for $40 in 1963. Had it delivered in a brown paper bag through the mail. Bought my first box of 9mm ammo at Toomer’s corner and took it to the Opelika dump to shoot and empty a few magazines.
