I have an EA-mfgd CAR-15 that I picked up in North Carolina during a feature project. Can't beat a southern gun show!
I brought my British Art Director along - he'd never been to a US gun show - and he was just horrified. Oh...my...god! D'you mean people can just walk in with money...and walk out with a rifle...?!
Me: Yeah, I'm walking out with this one, right here!
I like to think that I helped instill his still-strong belief that Americans remain a pack of rootin' tootin' gun totin' crazies...
In fact I am always forgetting to pick up a nice thick butt pad for that carbine. It's so short that even with stock extended it shoulders about two or three inches too far back for comfort.
