Been awhile since I've been on the forum (803 Unread Posts long) went back to school and its been eating up my play time.

Anyhow, I was wondering around the old books on the 1903 and noticed that these show 1903, and 1903A1 rifles feature *milled* lower barrel bands with a grove (Privates Manual, Dated 1910, Chapter VI, pg 100 and on page 50, TM 9-1270, 20 Jan 1944)

At what point in time did they start using *milled* solid lower bands?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far!
