    Yeah that seems to be the response I'm getting on other forums as well. I also can't find much on Google about it either. Seems to be a somewhat unknown.

    The purpose of the 1903A3

    Hello all. The 1903A3 was meant to be an upgrade from the 1903, however as I understand it, the 03A3 was developed after the Garand had been adopted and was in wide use by all the services. So why...

    Thank you for the information. Well it seems that it was probably more common for any given Marine during WW2 to have a canteen manufactured under an Army contract than by DQP. It also looks like I...

    Thanks for clearing that up...I was under the impression that the ones used by the Marine Corps had slight variances in them.

    I do not have covers for these but will be getting one for each.

    I don't know, nor can I find anyone that does. I even sent a pic of it to Bruce Canfield...all he could say was that he had never seen that before.

    Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I assume that just like any other service rifle they were re built and got whatever stock was next in the bin.

    Thanks guys. I agree, it is wrong. I think Bubba attempted to put a bead sight in. I just wanted to check that I wasn't missing anything.

    Brass is hard to find but factory ammo should be easy to come by if you look around online. In fact I know Midway has it right now. Just save the brass that you have shot. That's what I do.
