Not wanting to dispute you Ed but I know first hand that it was well known duirng Korea for Canadian troops to use US made weapons.
One Korea vet that I speak with used a M1 carbine on a regular basis while he was serving (CASF PPCLI, Kapyong). He mentioned Canadians as often scrounging for US made weapons that for whatever reason were thought of as superior to whatever the Crown was offering up at the time...
