They can be seen on The Green Side, as well.
Posted by Rae at November 24, 2004 12:24 PMI notice his rifle looks different than the others...
Do you know if he purchased his own and brought it to the battle, or just took his issued rifle and had a dura-coat put on it?
Not sure, Nathan. I will ask R and have him comment here.
Posted by: Rae at November 30, 2004 11:54 AMR asked the same question to Lt. Col. Bellon's father over Thanksgiving and he said that he didn't know either. My opinion is that he either purchased it or had it given to him because I haven't seen any other Marine Infantry with that finish on their service rifle.
Posted by: R at December 12, 2004 05:18 PMI think you can use whatever you can find. I know a guy who traded an army troop a pair of leather gloves for a new machine gun. He couldn't take the gun home but figured he might as well use it while he was there.
