You're in luck - Steve Norton just posted them on the CMP forums.

And if you read my post, by "documented history" I meant Hatchers notebook. But yes, Steve has posted documents from the Marines...

They have documented history that was drummed up by a Major, working for Springfield Armory, who needed a convenient reason to maintain his budget even during a Great Depression.

$1400 cash for a rebuilt RIA 03? Send that buyer to me! Haha

AV is for Avis made barrels.

Hey Rick I sent you a message on FB. Seems I have a rifle about 1000 away from your 605k NM

I wish I knew. I would be thrilled to find either and play the odds

Bump please

It would mean a lot to me to find this rifle and I would pay very good money for it. I know it's a long shot but I'm throwing it out there.

Thanks boys
