CS Ferris, a number of years ago, published a much-enlarged version of the book on RIA M1903s - have you seen it?
Hi Rick, I've seen it online. I got this RIA M1903 book from a rack dusty of books when I went to make a payment on my rifle. The Springfield Book I found online cheap so I grabbed it.Quote:

Hey Rick, Wasn't that later version of C.S. Ferris' book on the RIA 03 co-authored by our very own John Beard?

Intresting, I have Ferris 1992 RIA book as you pictured USA Baker. So there a later updated book Rick?
The only co authored book with JB I know of is '1903 production and alteration 1905-1910' Bear.
Also, can you guys give more info on the 'Manufacture of the 1903' book? Would it be a good addition to Brophy, Hatcher, and Clark Campbells last edition, (which I don't have yet.)
Thanks!
Brad
John contributed a "chunk" of C.S. Ferris' later RIA book, but not enough to be listed as a co-author. Nick brought out the "update about 2007 or so, if memory serves. It is called "Rock Island Rifle Model 1903". Scott Duff published it - not sure if it is in print, but fairly easy to find on the "used"market.
See if this link works to the online copy of the M1903 manufacture book. It basically shows the "technical" side of making the M1903.
