Beautiful guns. IMO the GI fiberglass stocks are under-appreciated - fit my hand perfectly, very accurate especially bedded. No zero changes with humidity or long term lockup storage.Comment

I have them on a half dozen of my recent scoped builds and they do a great job. I use mostly GI wood though. Something about what I used in the RVN Summer camp in the 60's.Comment

I would never attempt to compare Army ROTC summer camp to real warfare in Viet Nam other than to relate that they ran us through the Fort Sill Viet Nam Village after helicoptering us in. They gave us deliberately fuzzy rules of engagement about "Don't shoot the popular forces." I drew down on a cone hatted "VC" - all our instructors were Army VN vets. The guy spun around and emptied a full auto M-16 at me - blanks of course!
They showed us the Punji stakes, Malayan gates, toe poppers, bombs hung in trees.... I was sure I would be dead if I went there. So I was pretty shook up when I was ordered to RVN on the evacuation in 1975 as BLT 1-4's dental officer. We picked up 3500 people at Phan Rhang.Scared the crap out of me. Anyway glad I had the experience.... Never got out of the boat!
My hat is off to you who actually did it!Comment

Only one tour for me. I had a very nice re-enlistment bonus for my field and was ready for another few years, but a friend in admin let me know that along with a promotion and bonus I was headed back to RVN after my signature. A quick chat with the wife and a long look in the mirror made the decision that civilian life was in the cards for me.Comment
