In 1966, my company as a whole was to be deployed to Vietnam. Every section had a conus or two to pack all their stuff in for overseas shipping. As I was walking past the company armorers shack, I noticed they were throwing out all obsolete stuff like garand parts/manuals and other stuff not related to any of our weapons. It all went into a garbage can. So, I helped my self to some old manuals. Too bad at the time, but, garands and parts were not on my hoarding list alas. I assume all those parts went to a warehouse somewhere. I could have filled a duffle bag with them.
