 Special thanks to FRANK A ,U.S.ARMY retied for the photo's of his Mossberg from CMP very close to new, it's a 44US(a) D&T, SN#139997



I recently obtained some of my fathers mementos from his days in the Navy (Korean War Veteran USS Block Island CVE-106) and came across some US44 photographs and information that I thought maybe interesting.  All photos are from the US Naval Training Center Great Lakes, IL; Companies 297-298 from 1949.

Pop, Company 298, 1949

   

Each recruit learns to fire a rifle and pistol.  An M-1 rifle is issued to each man in the company for the use in learning the firing positions.  Actual fire in the rifle range buildings is done with .22 rifles and .45 pistols.  Check out those Mossys!!
