Wow! Some of the rates of production are astounding. I wonder if that can be accomplished today. I am sure it could be economically outsourced overseas.

My good friend Gordon Rottman has an Osprey book on it.

Look it up on Amazon.

It is an amazing weapon and one of two weapons I really wanted to fire and didn't. The other was the BAR.

We still have guns from early production in the system today that still run as good as they did in WW2. I don't think that type of production with that kind of quality will ever be replicated today in any part of the world. I do love America though and would love to see us try.
