Can You match the weapon to a Historic event/person
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

There is contracts by the U.S. Army units to have M14 rebuilt with after market parts to their specifications..ei stock types, barrel bedding, sights (iron and scpoes), and triggers. These are not the run of the mill gov contracts but contacts let by Divisions to companies that build custom sports rifles. One of the best moves the Army has made was to start a designated marksmen program (not sniper) much as the German army had during WWII, these marksmen are being outfited with these super M14s

How could I've missed "Whitefeather". I can't remember when we went to his services at Virginia Beach it seems like yesterday and yet I can't remember the date.
...
U.S. M1 rifle cal 30..WWII,Korea,Nam. I would watch the RVN go by with M1 rifles and no slings so the used comm wire in place of the slings, man that had to hurt.
...
U.S. M1 carbine 30 cal WWII,Korea,Nam
...
U.S. M2 carbine 30 cal Korea
...
Its Win model 95 in 405 cal for Teddy
...
Never looked into which rifle York used M1903 or M1917
...
BREN gun cal 303 and 7.62 mm NATO WWII,Korea, and forever.
...
U.S. M14 rifle cal 7.62mm...Nam and still going strong.



Wasn't it the M21 'sniper system' that survived (in limited numbers) all these years. Resurrected in mass 'issue' during 'Op Iraqi Freedom' ?


...
M2HB 50 cal MG...Audi Murphy.


Of course don't forget the burning M10 Tank destroyer to go with the 'Ma-Deuce'....YEAH FINALLY.....ARMOR REFERENCE!!!!

Podbyrin 9.2mm (44 Desert Eagle)- Arnold (again)
Walther PPK - James Bond


Podbyrin 9.2mm (44 Desert Eagle)- Arnold (again)....I assume that is from 'Red Heat'.

I pride myself at being a fairly decent movie trivia buff Rolling Eyes . Of course this is partially due to many years of 'Not having a Life'. Shocked Mr. Green
