[rice 123]

I have been thinking I have seen a lot of pics of MPs, engineers, and service troops in Europe. As far as I can remember they always seemed to have 03s slung on they're backs. Except for free french that we armed do you think any a3s made it into combat theaters

Yes, M1903A3s made it overseas. Although pictures of "regular" M1903s show up much more frequently, I have seen quite a few pictures of troops with M1903A3s supposedly taken in the combat theatres.
