I served from 1967 to 1988 and at no time were military weapons ever offered for sale to soldiers or anyone else as surplus with the one exception you mentioned about General officers purchasing their sidearms. Countless WW2 weapons were destroyed until the NRA convinced the congress of the waste... That saved the balance of rifles that are now available throught the CMP... __________________ regards, -John S "...We hold these truths to be self-evident that ALL men are created EQUAL *and are endowed by their Creator* with certain UNALIENABLE* rights, and among these are life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness..."*
