Soldier or Marine?

[Marine A5 Sniper Rifle]

I'm sorry to say that info is not correct.

You are entitled to your opinion. Have a nice day.

Well, hold the presses. The manner of which the Army handled sniper rifles from Day 1 is a trail of broken information and truth be told, USMC not too much better in that regard.
Absolutes ain't absolutes. Today they are for sniper systems but in the years up thru Viet Nam War, it was an adhoc area of priority and records NIL.

So argue all you want, but attacking Norton because you got a different set of facts or opinions doesn't resonate nor does it impress any one. The military is horrible for record keeping and at unit level, we could not keep anything over 18 months old. Of course classified information had no such restriction.

That part is absolute: The official word on USMC WW II M1903 sniper rifles was they all had the "C" stock, then a pic showed up of a Marine sniper in action in WW II with an M1903 sniper rifle with an "S" stock.
