Hi guys, looked at a bunch of carbines, parts, and ammo yesterday at a fun show.
I came across some Ejercito De Bolivia "Army Of Bolivia" 50rd boxes of carbine ammuntion that I had never seen before. No an English word on the box. 50rds. Brass cased. Made by Aguila. I paid $15 a box, and regret not buying it all. Might go back and see if it's still there. Anyways, just wanted to share with the community. I know Che loved the Carbine, and was killed by men most likely using either a M1 Carbine or Garand in Bolivia. Bolivian Carbine history seems pretty rich. Then again what part of the planet didn't the Carbine touch. ETA: Apprarently he was indeed killed using a M2 Carbine....per wikipedia: "A few minutes later, Sergeant Terán entered the hut to shoot him, whereupon Guevara reportedly stood up and spoke to Terán what were his last words: "I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, coward! You are only going to kill a man!" Terán hesitated, then pointed his self-loading M2 carbine[230]at Guevara and opened fire, hitting him in the arms and legs.[231] Then, as Guevara writhed on the ground, apparently biting one of his wrists to avoid crying out, Terán fired another burst, fatally wounding him in the chest. Guevara was pronounced dead at 1:10 pm local time according to Rodríguez.[231] In all, Guevara was shot nine times by Terán. This included five times in his legs, once in the right shoulder and arm, and once in the chest and throat.[225] " |

Hey Al, I never went back to the show the next day to grab more.
Once I try out the box I have though, I'll be happy to report back the results. |
