   Yeah I could see that.  

 Thanks for the info, seen a lot of AR hand guards, but haven't seen that one.

Experimental 50rd mag made for the SEAL's in VN.

I bought one from the estate auction of an ex Frankford Arsenal employee

Okay, bonus round:

What is that (looks like three dots in a row) where the stock meets the lower receiver?

The story is he was a Marine, that doesn't rule it out he was ALSO there in another capacity. Air America maybe....
Poor fucker. Imaging looking like Oswald during that period of time.

Looks more like Mark Zuckerberg to me. Proving Zuckerberg isn’t really human.

I'd send someone a PMag if they would make the Oswald newspaper pic with MarkyMarks face on it.

Looks to me like a label from an old Dynatape.

If you ever stumble across a copy of Patches Watson's Point Man there is a chapter about some of the experimental weapons the SEALs tried.

OK, bonus points.
Pmag to you if you want it. Shoot me an address.
My mess up, I meant Mark Zuckerburg, berg, whatever, by "Markymark", guess I'm the only one that calls him that.
Nice pic, even if he is standing straighter and has bigger forearms than before. The Carcano looks a couple decades newer, also.
Is your fake picture fake?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Dymo Tape Rack Number.

So, the experimental 50 does exist.

A rabbit hole to go down is the two Oswalds conspiracy. Lee and Harvey. Would explain a lot of conflicting information. Who knows?

Don't tell me: the guy on the left goes/went by "Butch".



Where can one read some more on those 50 round mags?

I'm thinking the Rhodesians- particular their SF- would have killed for CARs/XM-177s and reliable 50 rounders.
