DeafSmith - This year I finally read Audie Murphy's book, To Hell and Back. He brought a German sniper rifle home as a war trophy and there are pictures of him showing it to guests.

BTW, make sure your Carbine is USGI and not aftermarket. Approach aftermarkets with guarded caution. I worked on an IAI reproduction and here's some issues:

1) rear sight aperture fell off while being used. It wasn't found.
2) rear sight base found to be crooked. Apparently the monkey who assembled it bent the rear sight.
3) Gas piston housing not staked on properly. It got loose.
4) Front sight is crooked.

You pay more with USGI because you get more.
