[M.T. Pockets]

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm pretty sure they would have had the M1 rifle. They were both infantry soldiers. Both mentioned that their rifles were far from new when they got them, I'm guessing they were surplus from WWII. I'll know what to look for when I'm looking at the used rifles at the gun shops.

I wasn't sure if the army used the NATO round, (wasn't that a .308?) in Korea or not.

I'll start looking and asking some questions.

Also, would a bayonet have been a standard issue ?

Thanks for your help.
