I haven’t seen any yet either.
I haven’t seen any yet either, I’ll let you know if I start coming across any.
It sounds like another executive order may have came into play, last section of wiki page:
I’m not sure that the ROK firearms would be handled by the CMP, as it was their usual practice (in the olden days) to sell off stocks of obsolete, or surplus firearms, and ammunition held by the U.S. Although I’m sure things have changed in the intervening decades, but as I recall it, the ROK guns would have to be returned to the U.S. Gov’t before the CMP could re-import them. Otherwise they would have to be brought in by a commercial importation company.
I was forced to carry a M2 Carbine as I was an advisor to the CIDG program and that is what they carried in addition to BARs Garands, A6s and other old time stuff.
While handy and light, the cartridge was far too wimpy-especially in heavy growth.
I have seen people take hits and remain relatively unaffected. They will kill one, as well.
Less controllable than a M-3 or M16, but short bursts are always the correct practice.
Leave on “semi” and no control issue.
It was common to tape 2 and even 3 mags together.
We finally got M 16s and a couple of CARs, and I felt much better armed.
We got the early issue 16s and the trick was to keep them clean.
