[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2405201, member: 27991"] Those guys were issued A weapon and were held responsible to keep it, therefore they knew the s/n of their gun. They had the same weapon throughout their time of service, especially during a conflict. After Vietnam, rifles were kept in an arsenal and issued as needed to be returned at the end of the day / assignment, unless in a combat zone. So I am told by my Uncle, many of the WWII vets had 1 rifle throughout (excluding training camp) their service (excluding training camp). My Uncle was trained and then issued with an M1 Garand, later he was re-issued an M-14, he still knows the s/n of both rifles. I barely remember my phone number. [/QUOTE]
