Back on topic for this thread, do we know what the CMP inventory of M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and M1903s was like in the mid-90s? I would expect those to have been shipped out to law enforcement and state guard units in conjunction with the M16EZ project, so they'd be fairly common for poorly-equipped militia units in 2000.

There was still a ton of stuff in storage. The M-14s had never been scrapped. Then Clinton got in and went scrap happy. I laughed when the Pentagon decided to reissue M-14s after 9/11 only to find out that most had been scrapped and they had to buy new ones from Springfield. But up till Clinton, we had warehouses full of BARs, belt fed 1919, M2 carbines, and the like. There were/are still 1911A1s stored.
