Some time about 2000 I bought a Springfield M1903 A3 from a dealer in Britainicon, it had been made up from spares left by the US Army after WWII. The US had shipped tons of spares for M1s and Springfields, enough to make complete weapons. After the war it was just not worth shipping back to the US, so everything was just left in bunkers somewhere and forgotten.
Does anyone just happen to have a spare time machine they could loan me?
