I attended U.A. Army Basic Combat Training in the summer of 1986 at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. Since we were recruits in a training unit we were issued the M1 helmet and [[M16A1]]. My rifle was actually one of the rifles made by Hydrmatic (a division of General Motors) in the Sixties. Good times. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 16:22, 7 September 2022 (UTC) | |||

Am I correct in thinking that a Winchester Model 1200 Ranger is simply an entry level 1300, so should be linked to this page? Aside from the ribbed barrel which this one has (all 1300 barrels and furniture will fit) the way to tell it from a 1300 is the humped shape of the trigger guard. --commando552 12:21, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
