Hittman, your number #50xx gun, hiit a memory note , as I had #514 a couple of times around and our late friend DaveS ( cherokee here on the forum) kinda got it last time around and put it together with the next years version, the 'prefix' gun............
well we moved on again for the the 'estate' even after the first one was fitted with a smooth 32-20 cylinder,,,,awesome guns and I had another to go along with my 30 M-1 just like wyandot jims guns pictured above, after he 'booked from here in western Ohio....our late friend Fred P., former Navy Seabee , gave us this picture of his friend John was a PFC., doorgunner on a Huey, guess what he carried, matching .30 carbines.......
may they ALL Rest In Peace..........
