for Dave Silk-

in April '01, you wrote :

"In fact I remember helping one of you, Greg, Ron C. or possibly Sam Stella

cut down a full auto carbine, and making it into the nastiest little pistol the

world."

Dave -could that puppy have been left in a heavy, clear plastic bag, along with

a couple of "banana"

magazines and two boxes of ammo? Say, hanging on a rusty nail inside a

plywood wall panel of a hootch on Holloway, sometime prior to about Jan '70?

If so, it SURE WAS a meanie...I got it from an AIT

buddy (Arnie Woldhuis). His and his hootchmates were renovating their AOs

and he found it there.

If I remember right, the hootch was partly underground, and very well-built.

I gave Arnie $5.00 MPC for it, and it was a trusted friend 'til the end of my tour.

I'd love to have it back now, but I don't think I'd want

anyone but you or me to have it !!

Nice gunsmithing job.
