Found this interesting little piece on Iranian Garands , I thought all you Garand lovers might enjoy it , I did.
You don't see many International Harvester's, it explains one reason why.

After the mullahs took over Iran, most of the US trained officers and NCOs were murdered by the muz government.

We used to fly in and out of Bandar Abbas, Iran 1975-76, and all the Iranian troops had M-1s. I was never able to note as to whether they were Winchester, IH, or Springfields. During the same time frame, we were in Tai Pei, Taiwan a lot and all the troops there had M-1s. On the flight line were numerous C-47s, C-46s, and C-119 Flying Boxcars. Off on the side I saw what (it was a long time ago) looked like several A/B-26s and B-25s in essentially a boneyard.

A slight bit of hyberbole; while true many were killed others werse merely imprisoned and later served in the war against Iraq. A great may others left the country and moved to Europe or the USA, and elsewhere.

We have an Iranian Colonel in our gun club. He has a bunch of bolt guns and is an enthusiastic shooter. Very friendly guy.
