Pretty ingenious, too. On the M3A1, the wire butt stock doubled as a disassembly tool, using it as a wrench to turn the barrel nut, and tripled as magazine loader with a tab that was used to push down the top round of the magazine so another round could be pushed in, saving your thumbs.

Great video on the M3 and M3A1 by Ian of Forgotten Weapons:

Comparing same to same : How did it do as compared to the Thompson SMG (and with a standard shooters ability) as far as accuracy under the same situations it would be used ???

Is that what “The Mailman” used in Three Days of the Condor?

Swedish K was better than that. Of course it came on a little later

Great Movie, thanks for the photo.

Feels like October, I think.

I’ve enjoyed that movie several times over the years...even if Robert Redford is from the Dark Side.
