Nice group picture. No joy on the M1A (no button or happy switch) The Rhodesian muzzle device caught my eye. Baby shit green paint looks right, but the stock looks a couple inches short. Carry handle was removed. The ones I've found were roughly cut or twisted off leaving the gap filled.

 

When I moved into my new office, in the back corner on the second deck of Building 59 on Camp Lejeune, to assume my duty as Group Career Planner of the newly formed secret squirrel unit that nobody could yet pronounce, a wall mounted pencil sharpener and a wooden desk were the only things in the office. Not even a chair. I moved in with a cardboard box of files and supplies I'd liberated from my old office and made the best of the situation. Years later, three of us who stood up that unit would meet again at The Basic School, so apparently it wasn't a bad move for any of us.

I don't know how I'd do that job today. Back then we could smoke in my office, and without letting some Marines light up a cigarette I couldn't get them to make a big life decision like reenlisting. It was definitely a different time. Like selling ice to Eskimo's.

 

Lots of potential.

 

I would love to do a rawhide lampshade with a joint like that.

On the right lamp it'd be perfect.

 

I miss them from my younger days, in the 1970s and 1980s.

 

Plenty of room for Trump.

 

I’ve done maintenance on some of those back in the day…

 

Had these at C-130 gunships awesome firepower 1970

 

I remember them being named " Puff the magic Dragon " ,, and " Spooky ",, if I'm right .
Unless I'm mistaking them for something else .

 

Oh, that's just wrong!

 

On so very many levels.
