Looking at 1903A4 as next project. School me.

If your so adiment on books.. which personally I love. What are some truly good books to purchase on these rifles?

That's about what I thought...Jim Gaynor has listed them, almost all of them... There's also the section here dealing with 1903 rifles and ilk, there's entire picture heavy threads showing the good and bad and discussing markings and even color. They go as far as to describe which screw should be staked. Again, as Jim stated... We're just not going to start from square one here.
