@nobodyherepal3292 Well, during that time period, yes. My father never went to Korea.
After WW2 he was an instructor at Ft. Hood and Ft. Knox (where I was born) until he retired in 1956.
He trained a lot of people who went to Korea.
He began in the "Tank Corps" in the 1930s, was assigned to the 2nd Armored Div. when it was formed in 1940, went to North Africa and Sicily, then went to England where he was assigned to the 3rd Armored Division. He then fought with the 3rd AD (Spearhead) in Europe.
He served in the occupation force until November, 1945 when the 3rd Armored was deactivated and he was back to the 2nd Armored at Ft. Hood. In 1947 he was again assigned to the re-activated 3rd Armored Division, headquartered at Ft. Knox.
Throughout the Korean War, 3rd Armored was a "training division". 3rd Armored was reactivated as a "combat division" in 1955 and rotated in and out of Germany during the Cold War. Elvis Presley was in the 3rd Armored and would have been trained by my father, but he came 2 years after my father retired.
The 3rd Armored was again deactivated in 1992 after participating in "Desert Storm".
The 1st Battalion, 33rd Armored Regiment my father was in in Europe and after WW2, is still active. Renamed the 1st Squadron, 33rd Cavalry Regiment in 2005, it is part of the "rapid deployment force" of the 101st Airborne Division.

I have that exact same rifle in .30-06 which my father owned and handed down to me. I also have a later Remington Model 7600...basically the same, but with a 4 lug rotating bolt instead of the 9 lug bolt on the Model 760. My Model 7600 is chambered in .35 Whelen.
All Remington Model 760s in .30-06 had a 1 in 10" RH rifling twist. Every .30-06 rifle I have ever seen, of any make, and I have many in every action type, have 1 in 10" rifling twist.
FWIW, the Model 760 (or 7600) are fantastic hunting rifles and were extremely popular in Pennsylvania because, at the time, PA did not allow autoloading rifles for deer hunting. The Model 760 had the nickname: "The Amish Autoloader."
In 1968, Remington changed the method of attachment of the forend and this gave the rifle a completely free floated barrel (the example you are showing, Brandon, is the pre-68 version) The rifles were noted for being extremely accurate. Both of the rifles I have are sub-MOA for 3 shot groups @ 100 yds.

1. Please explain, Joe Rogan, how is it possible to fire a bullet (that bullet has clearly been fired through a rifled bore) and "never hit a goddamned thing"? The bullet HAS TO have hit SOMEthing. Even if fired in the air, the bullet will hit the ground when it comes back earth. Unless the bullet is launched into earth orbit, in which case you would not have the bullet to examine, it MUST HAVE hit something.
2. Full metal jacket bullets often look as though they are not deformed after penetrating an animal, for example. Bullets specifically designed for deep penetration, such as dangerous game bullets, may appear undeformed even after penetrating several feet of a cape buffalo, rhinoceros or elephant. Usually you can measure deformation, even if it is not obviously visible.
3. Water, even in itself, is NOT a "soft target". A soft target would be snow, fiberglass insulation batts, or cotton or polyester "batting", like pillow stuffing. When firing a bullet and NOT trying to deform the bullet, that's what you would use. You would need a LOT of it to stop a bullet. If the bullet in question was "planted", as some suggest, why would they try to plant a bullet that appears undeformed for Joe Rogan to question 58 years later?
4. I am guessing JFK had some pretty creative places to hide the condoms he always carried.
My theory is...we do not know what actually happened that day and cannot know what actually happened with the information we currently have. When all the information is released then maybe we will be able to get a better idea.
Trying to "solve" a mystery when you KNOW that you do not have all the information necessary is foolish. Even for Joe Rogan.

@sanguinius1284 No. It's an alphabet developed by Byzantine theologians Cyril and Methodius who devised a letter for each sound in Slavic languages. Bulgarian was the first language to use it. It is used by many Slavic languages, not just Russian. It uses letters from the Greek and Roman alphabets, and some of it's own. Unlike English which combines letters to make sounds, Cyrillic, in theory, has a separate letter for each sound. For example "Ч" for the "ch" sound "Ш" for the "sh" sound. There are 44 letters in the alphabet. Russian uses 34 of them. (including "hard" and "soft" signs) Ukrainian uses 35, but drops 1 that Russian uses and adds 2 that Russian doesn't use. Therefor, there are actually several Cyrillic alphabets for different languages...so The Russian alphabet IS Cyrillic, but not all Cyrillic is Russian. The giveaway is the letters used. And, of course, the words.
In practice this has been corrupted a bit since Russians adopted words from other languages and didn't necessarily have the correct letter for a sound not found in Slavic languages.
For instance, the is no "J" (as in Jack) sound in Russian, so they usually substitute a "Y" such as the name "Yulia" instead of "Julia" or an "Ee-oh" such as "Ee oh sef" instead of "Joseph".
Some Slavic languages have "converted" or transliterated to the Roman alphabet.

I have been carrying concealed every day for some 45+ years. Initially as a police officer/off duty and now as a retired licensed citizen. For a time later in my career, when working with an international agency, I was assigned to parts of the former Soviet Union, in an officially "unarmed" capacity. Specifically, in Russia and Ukraine. I do not suggest anyone smuggle a firearm into foreign countries as it probably won't end well, but acquiring a handgun in countries which are pervasively corrupt is not difficult. Doing so in the former Soviet Union will invariably result in...you guessed it...a Makarov. Who'da thunk it? That said, given a choice, there are better, lighter, cheaper and more durably finished guns on the market for CC in the USA. The Makarov worked well for me for 2 years in a concealed carry role (did I say that out loud? Concealed has a meaning, doesn't it?). When I returned, I left it there, in good hands. I don't miss it.
