    Red Star Question

    In Terry Hawker's 2009 Red Star article posted here as a sticky, there is a photo at the top of the article, showing a case of what appears to be cleaned Red Stars. In the same case, the photo shows two 1903A3's. Does anyone know if any 1903A3's were among the 200 Red Stars that were imported in 1955?

    That was a "posed" picture. There were NO M1903A3s in the Red Star rifles. There were, supposedly, a couple in the 3,090,000 range or so, according to my data base.
