To be honest, I don't know the difference between a 1903 and an 03-A3. This is all virgin territory for me. But I'm no looking for a military rifle but rather one that was sporterized to a hunting rifle. Just like most of the rifles that Michael and the rest of you have been discussing here for years.

I know Mausers are fine rifles but I won't be going after one. Only interested in American made rifles. I don't know why. Just the way it is right now.

The sound of the .30-40 cartridge is appealing. So, I'll look into sporterized Krags and 1903s and its variants (like I would even know what they are).

Well the slope is long and steep the climb promises to be fun and interesting.
