I just checked this thread again and I'm so sorry for my typo Gunner.
Yes, It's a B'T'-13. (Basic Trainer)

The designations at time for trainers was:
PT - Primary Trainer
BT - Basic Trainer
AT - Advanced Trainer

Thank you, Harlan. No problem, now the " light " is on.

Too many choices! I like the Krag-Jorgensen because the action of the bolt is silky smooth and it fits me just right. Yet, in military bolt competitions I used the No. 4 Mk1*.

For a semi-auto I like the Garand because it too fits me and the balance is quite nice. Yet, in combat I'd prefer my H&K 91.

Have owned and fired many different vinatage WWI and WWII bolt action rifles. Many have come and gone. No question, I have a definite affinity for American made rifles. However, the one that has been the most accurate, best shooting, is a Swede model 38. Mine was originally a model 96 made in 1912 and later converted. Very smooth action and the trigger pull belies a military firearm. The caliber and craftsmanship is a winning combination.

Lee Enfield No.4 hands down.

BT-13 Vultee Valiant. Sold by the hundreds after WWII with the provision that they would NOT be flown due to the plywood parts de-laminating. Most of the R-985, 450HP Pratt's along with the wheels and brakes were installed on Stearman trainers that were then converted to crop dusting applications.

My vote goes to M-1.
