#3  Believe it was a popular Democrat who left those fellas high and dry. Some things, they just don't seem to change.

#1  Don't know who the lads are in the black & white are, but the weapon is a Czech SHE VZ-52's in 7.62x45. Some were later converted to 7.72x39 with pinned barrels. [Pinned at the breech, which let's you know what you've got]. Not much to look at, but a smooth shooter if you can find the ammo. A few SHE's were found in the hands of "airstrip construction workers" during the invasion of Grenada. Some eventually made the journey to Fort Bragg.
