Never hold your nose and cover your mouth when sneezing, as it can blow out your eyeballs.---source--Fanpop

straining when you poop has the same affect.

Sometimes, due to the Mountainous terrain, it would take an entire Morning to cover a single Topo.
Hence the phrase " Topo the Morning to Ya"

Singer sewing machine company made 45 automatics for the military in WW2
:clap:
* I recall being issued a Remington rand of typewriter fame manufacture .45cal pistol while in the CORPS ( late 70's early 80's) But I always stuffed it in a plastic wonder bread sack, while in my holster & all I had to do was brush off the bread crumbs b-4 turning it back in to the armoury,,, as acceptably cleaning an M-60 machine gun after firing,,, is a time consuming choreo_O

*the belt fed full auto is one(if not the ONE) of the dirtiest weapons systems to clean after firing existing in any militaries weapons inventory.

My uncle told me they used to take the M1 Garands in the scalding hot shower to get them perfectly clean then after the heat dried them put a light coat of oil on and they were good to go otherwise they fail inspection and couldn't go to on leave . Had a Rem Rand in my 1911 collection good reliable gun . Traded it on a series 70 Gold Cup

They are considered the holy grail of the 1911's. Were I the owner of that company I would still be making them.
The only 1911s I can think of that are more sought after are the ones that Browning had to show to the Germans . If I am not mistaken, there are only two of them though.

I believe Rockola ( think juke boxes) put out some m1 carbines as well.

:thumbup:right-0n:thumbup:

They produced 3.7% of total carbine production @228,500 rifles, for a "per unit" government cost of: $58.00

While my Inland Of 6-44 vintage only cost Uncle Sam $ 39.60 per unit,,,as general motors cranked out 43% of total carbine production


*I got the hard covered collector's guide:)
