Interesting provenance on this rifle, wow.
From the GI advert:
“With the rifle, I received a letter from a US military officer who states that this rifle was presented to him in the 1960s by the Vietnamese police for his help in assisting them in the Tet Offensive. It would make sense......”

Who here remembers the infamous photo of THE General Loan?

NP, yes, I've got the rifle for sale. I like to find unusual and historic rifles, research their past, have them brought back to 100% function (if needed), but then move on to the next find.

Redstone, yes...it was presented by the infamous General Nguyen Loan of the Vietnamese Police, better known by the photo of him shooting a Viet Cong at point blank range during the Vietnam era.
