Happy 100th Birthday, 1903 Springfield Rifle

[82Rigger]

On June 20, 1903, the armed forces of the United States adopted the 1903 Springfield rifle as the standard service rifle,
replacing the 1898 Krag-Jorgensen rifle.

Around here we're still wired about LBJ closing the Springfield Armory. I don't know many hunters who don't own a 30-06. truly one of the finest weapons of the 20th century.
Thanks Rigger.

Stay healthy,

I had a Ensfield 30-06 and loved it. I still wish I had it but sold it when I came back to Chicago. It was a heavy piece but OK for elk hunting.

I used to own a 30-06 that woud put 6 shots into a 4-leaf clover size hole at 100-yards the doc has it now as my x sister in law told the state I was a phyco with a house full of guns. I had to move my stuff around some ,wifes tell lots of lies when they want to get rid of a cripple veteran. My x-wife is throwing me away,so she can find someone who can dance. She is trying to steal my house also. I will be seeing you - all under the bridge soon.
