    Consistent that all rifles are sans bolts and rear sight assemblies. Some rifles have front sights, some don't.

    I've seen this picture debated several times. Everyone agrees it is a M1903 (not 03A3). Seems to be a Weaver 330 or M73B1. Lots of guesses about the rings and mounts. Not a standard configuration.

    Rifles for the next relay stacked neatly behind the group. Guy on the far right looks squared away and comfortable with the position.

    Some guys just have their M1 while others are packing a lot of extra gear. The guy in front of the photographer has his full pack, a MG bipod, two ammo cans, and his rifle. Good thing he isn't in...

    A real collection of hats in various states of personalization. A few helmets mixed in too. Both Garands and M1903's are visible. Even some sunglasses. Interesting group photo.

    I've made similar gambles, but usually for parts I wanted for myself. I've picked up two A4 bolts on cheap sporters that were worth more than the what I paid for the rifles.

    Shot the western games in 2011 and had hoped to meet him. I don't think he competed that year. Seems like a common sentiment of being a friendly, approachable, and genuine person.

    There is another big honking hole in the final dive housing area. Looks like an exit hole. And yes, that looks like a glancing blow on the turret. Rough day.
