1903/A3 books

[Randy A]

The more I get into this 03 business, the more confusing and vast it gets, I suspect this has been asked before, but here goes again. I heard references to books on the 1903s and A3s by Brophy and Canfield. What is the best book and does it have photos/ illustrations comparing parts?
"Bubba needs pictures!"

Unfortunately, there is not one good book on M1903s - all the major books have their good and bad points. Canfield is probably best for beginners, although it does have some flaws. Campbell and Brophy are more advanced, but also have their weak points.

Think of Brophy as the "Old Testament". We're all waiting for Rick to publish his own correct book.
