    Hatcher Hole?

    Gen. Julian Hatcher, who wrote "Hatcher's Notebook," is credited with recommending that a left side gas escape hole be added in the M1903 receiver ring, circa 1936. Can anyone point me to a text reference where he takes or is authoritatively given this credit? I am unable to find it. Please oblige.

    Many Thanks!

    J.B.
