Nary an m16 is right. M16 still used when these were taken. These were guns the Mil. had no use for.
Look at the pictures carefully. My best guess is Kodachrome, based on my use of this film back in the 70's and 80's and knowing how the colors degrade over the years, I'd guess these were taken in the late 70's. Perhaps Chris can lend some Photographic expertise on this matter (Chris, your cave pics are both fabulous and fascinating!!)
Look at the Flora....no tropical plants here.....common stuff that you'd see down Southeast. And the soil.....reddish brown, kinda like Alabama or Georgia??
Can't make out anything on the water tower in one pic, but it looks red or red/white.....probably one of our military bases.....
Can't make out more than a blur of the sign on the side of the building.
Question: Where in the U.S. do they do most of the demilling of unused weapons? I know they cut up a bunch at Rock Island, but that was in the 90's and these ain't Rock Island.....
Anniston Alabama?
BTW, I got dibs on the Swedish K sitting on the pile of M3's!!!!
My .02, FWIW.
