I've got so many M2s and USGI's that it'll be a decade
before I go to M3s .
Guess I'll reseal that box and leave a note to myself
on top .
On another note - I also discovered that the M3 easily
takes 31 rounds .
With 31 rounds in the M3 it will also NOT seat in a Colt 6920
with a closed bolt .
I usually pull my ammo from bins or bags and jam in ammo
until my mags full .
I guess you actually have to count to 30 when loading M3s .
I've never noticed this with the M2 .
I don't like counting . YMMV .
