M1-D garand original with Weaver K-4 stock

[Andouille]

There were lots of "civil disturbances" by students protesting the Viet Nam war to be sure. But there were a fair number of urban riots with active shooters firing on police/National Guard types that had nothing directly to do with protesting the war.

Now as to whether or not the K4 equipped guns were assembled to deal with any of those or were assembled to augment declining stocks of other scopes, I have no idea.

M1-D rifles with Weaver K-4's are a RARE bird no matter what-- I got this in 1991; so it was not put together, The TE-(Toolehe) Marks on the right front receiver leg was 8-66. These K-4 M1-D's have been seen in service in Denmark and the US Army and reserve and National Guard Units from the late 60's to the late 1990's--- So Nay sayers can spout their non-sense So for the sum of $4250.00 it was worth the sum of it's parts, go ahead and find another one, or even a 1 inch mount- BTW- If you know anything about a n M1-D, You can't fake a 1 inch mount; The original's are all the same and there are no aftermarket mounts

Hard to believe that they even thought of using snipers against protesters, no matter how violent they got. But then again there was Kent State.

Kent State is a poor example. After the murder of Martin Luther King most of the major cities in the country were ablaze. During that same period their were numerous bombings (university campuses, the US Capitol, etc). Demonstrations and riots were a fairly regular occurrence mainly in response to US involvement in SE Asia.

If i recall the article on thee K4/M1D, in the old CSP, was penned by none other than the late Major Culver.

If I remember correctly, it was a little more then involvement in SE Asia. It was more about Drafting people for the war, foreign involvement in US politics and American involvement in foreign politics. Almost the same that is going on today.

That K4/M1D was actually apart of History and an important part of an collection.
