From: "DAVID W. SHUEE" <shuee@venus.iucf.indiana.edu>
 The "K's" were bought mostly before Vietnam and in the early stages of the
war. The gun is a basic open bolt smg. There are lot's of them on the world
market. The Smith and Wesson model 76 supplemented the "K". The S&W 76 is rare
but more avalible in the US. The basic differance is that the S&W has a semi
stop on the selector. These guns were chosen because they would work after 
having been in the water for a long time. If you want to see one of these guns
up close look in the phone book under gundealers or police supplies and see if
you can find mention of *classIII* or * titleII* these people are machinegun
dealers and may have one in stock.
