Came across this photo of some Phil COnstabulary Rangers in mixed uniforms using Garands, Carbines and the venerable BAR, yeeh! They were in SUlu island, SOuthern Philippines, hotbed of moro islamic secessionist movement.

Note the trusty M 1s and authentic WW 2 bandoleers , ammo web gear, blackclad uniform and duck camo pattern used by Green Berets in early Nam days.

Nathan:

Super cool pic! I've just finished on of my SGN articles on the arms of the P.C. and, with your permission, would like to use this photo. OK? If you have any others I'd love to see them.

Many thanks.

Now the AFP still has their Colt licensed M 16A1 made by Elisco in Bataan Province. They love the full auto M 16A1 .
