RE: Heres what the lovely dealer said today
LOL! My first duty station was Korea. In our arms room we still had a bunch of M-3A1s. Its funny how hot those little barrels get when they are fired. So hot that you have to be careful the barrel doesnt start to droop downward LOL.
My assigned weapon at the time was an M-16A2 w/ M-203 Grenade Launcher. Im pretty sure the M-16 was a Vietnam era A1 that had been converted to an A2. The "Auto" position on the selector switch had been ground down and "Burst" was etched in with an electric engraver. But the best part? The rifle was made by TONKA! Yes the same guys that make the Toy Trucks! The thing was built Tonka tough too. It never malfunctioned on me once.

P.S. I learned to drive manual transmission in a 1957 M35A2 Duece and 1/2 on the narrow congested roads in Uijongbu.
