And you dishonor those men you reference who did die with these rifles in their hands defending our country by trying to utilize their sacrifice for your silly political argument. Shame on you.

your defense is misplaced.

I see that the prices for the M1s in several variants range from $600 to $4000.

all USAF PJs received..
you could mount a muzzle circle on the heel of your jump boot and insert muzzle...
hang the stock from your waist ammo belt (next to your .45 holster)...
use your foot for aiming and fire..
we used to place piece of asbestos on inside edge of boot to prevent muzzle flash injury especially if you had phosphorus rounds for direction..

Sounds like someone trying to drive up the cost of some old rifles. I've seen this a lot in the last few years mostly started by gun sellers. You start a rumor about Obama banning a certain type of firearm and the prices shoot thur the roof. And after there all sold for many times over there worth the people who bought them start the wait to watch there investment pay off. There is a gun shop close to where I live that sold out shortly after Obama was elected. And nothing was on sale either! I know guys who paid double what something's were worth.
I have one of those same rifles I always figured it wasnt worth much but if any of you would like to buy it I'll let it go for 3000

lunatic?
cool, but devastating weapon.
It was showcased during the Red Jacket episode (forget the name of the reality based series on Discovery channel) where they test fired this weapon they assembled.

"Sons of Guns" - Ma Deuce Rules! I had the pleasure to fire that weapon many times over the course of my career. I have an M1 Carbine in my collection, but no Ma Deuce.

M-2 50 CAL
As a Track Commander, I qualified with the 50, had to shoot it mounted on the M114 Personel Carrier, then dismounting and setting her up on the tripod. Three man team; shooter, belt man, and barrel man. We had to go through an entire barrel change cycle.
Awesome weapon. You could tear a junk target vehicle, (usually an old Duece & Half), all to pieces, at 2000 yards.

Squad Leader
I was a Communications Sgt, (E-5) in a Mechanized Infrantry Battalion., so that made me the "commander" of our M114 Personel Carrier. The 114 mounted a 50 cal in a mechanized rotary mount that was incorporated in the whole hatch assy.
Many called the 114 a re-con track, but ours was set up as a communications station.

ah, that explains the Track designation. Does this designation also include Tanks or they refered to as Tank commander?
for those wondering what the hell an M114 is...
interesting that it was used in Vietnam, under-powered engine & weak armor (made out of aluminum) prolly killed it.

The "TCs" were the ones "privileged" to stick their heads out of the vehicle. The M113 and M114 APCs were a vast improvement over unarmored deuce and a halfs (AKA "four-by" in the USMC) or five ton trucks - or walking everywhere you went and wearing out your LPCs (leather personnel carriers - boots).
