My Dad is one that carried an M2 Carbine in Korea, he was a lineman keeping up communications along the front lines in some areas I am sure some of you have heard of Punch Bowl and Heartbreak ridge. He was there after the more famous battle for Heartbreak Ridge occured and the pictures he had of that there were almost no trees standing in them. He was issued a M1 but traded it for the M2 shortly after getting there and swapped it for another M1 before leaving. That little M2 served him well during his time of using it
I have a Rockolla and please do not tll all the deer it has killed since I got it that they were killed by an inferior firearm, they might return to give me indigestion. One of my Aunts killed truck loads of deer with hers and rarely ever shot more than once at a deer. Like mine has never shot more than once at a deer. I do keep all my shots when hunting under 100 yards but in thick woods of Mississippi where I use it that is not an issue.
I don't even want too try and count up all the deer/hogs/coon's/nutria/gators that have meet their end with the M1 that my grandfather brought home after WWII.
Not sure where he got it but the story goes he had it with him in his luggage when my grandmother picked him up at the bus stop the day he got back.
Still rocking the same 12 mags and never a mis feed.
Now that I think about it, I might have too break the old girl out of the safe and go get her nice and dirt at the range.
