    From the subject:

    “It was a one of a kind weapon is why you could not find it. I acquired a damaged CAR-15 from a Mike Force officer after a fire fight where the rear sight (handle) was broken off, other than that it was OK. I came up with a way after cutting off the stubs to make an adapter where I could put a M-1 Garand scope on it. We had plenty of them as the CIDG were armed primarily with M-1 Garand’s and M1 carbines with some Ak-47’s that were captured. A scope on a short barrel M-16 was not really needed in the jungle but it worked.”

    The repair / modification was extremely well done and indeed was equally prophetic.

    A little more info, as I did follow up with this gentleman:

    To be honest I don’t remember exactly what I did to mount the scope it was almost 52 years ago, however I do remember I had to take a piece I made to the welder in the near by village. As to the stock it was what the rife had when I got it but it did have the short barrel so maybe it was modified before I got it. In any case the barrel looks more like the XM177E1 then the E2.

    I also made a pistol from an M-1 carbine by cutting down the barrel to just before it wouldn’t fire auto and then carved the wood stock into a pistol style grip. I trashed several M-1’s before I got it right.

    Some of these parts, not easy to find like the original upper or the Type E stock.

    Almost done with the first one of two rifles. I need to get a couple of split washers for the muzzle devices. The barrels are new in wrapper factory armory replacement barrels. I am still unsure if I want to keep the mottled stock and pistol grip on there or find a quality all black set. I also need to find another good Type E stock for my second lower and a couple of baseplates for the stocks. Also have a couple of slings on order. 95% complete rifle in first picture.
