Got Me Another USMC

[Punch the Clown]

I just Googled USMC and Hot Foot and some pilot was referring to napalm bombs as "Hot Foots"

[Marine A5 Sniper Rifle]

The Marines weren't historically known for a propensity to stamp their stocks, and their "in the day" practice of "boning" their stocks diminished stamps applied by the armories. I suspect that the two stamps were very significant, since the rifle appears to have undergone an armory inspection, and are two stamps appear to be mutually supportive due to their location and respectful positions. Knowing the time frame of the HOTFOOT G.E.K. stamp, who G.E.K. was, and his affiliations would certainly help in solving a neat little mystery. Good luck.
