You are hired!
Good stuff, Ding. Don't keep us hanging too long... ;D
wow, a real live 1903A4 Springfield! Nice.....wonder how it shot?
The owner is a Ramseur regular who was there with 3 children. They rotated through M1 carbines, M1 Garands, German Mausers, U.S. Enfields, the 03A4, .22's, a mini14, etc. I don't recall the groups of individual rifles. And yes, even the kids were shooting the centerfire rifles.
Ding, thanks for all the pictures you took. I was a little too busy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong to take many and you really filled in the gaps for me to show my wife. Great job!

The "Rem03A4" ain't its a salvaged 03A3 drill rifle. It is a fine piece of work. A little known fact is that many 03A3s saw service as sniper rifles. Wish I had one.
The kids started out with the 10/22s and the m1 carbine, my 13 year old shot his mauser and the m1 garand that he build (with a little help) himself.I put a scope on the carbine for my daughter, that helped her a lot with sight alignment, she shot some of her best groups. The 1903a3 was a tack driver in it's time, although newer guns will easily out shoot it. What a great day at the range! Great pictures Ding!
