Did any of you Gentlemen ever see a M1D or M1C Garand snipers while in Service?

Somewhere around here I still have my weapons card for 2 or 3 of the rifles I was issued - which would give me the ser nrs for them. I remember that the Carbine ended in 13 - my lucky nr. - because I selected it out of the rack of available ones.Originally Posted by Doug

No Sir. Didn't even know such an animal existed until I started collecting available M1s from CMP. Now I have one of each in service grade.

The CMP "issued" me my CMP Special about 7 years ago. No war stories...yet!

Never. On my second tour, I bullied my battalion commander into getting me two M14 sniper rifles (pre-M21) and carried one of them myself, but I never saw an M1D or C.

Hello Lee, I worked at BnHq with classified material. Spent lots of time in a jeep running back and forth to main side and living in a cage at the Hq. Bldg. Lived in the squad bay across the road from the motor pool. Deployed to Taiwan for Operation Blue Star. Was in Platoon 349 which was the first in 3 years to qualify 100% at the range. Shot intermurals with the Bn rifle team for a couple of years.
