So I’m not a major contributor here.. but do enjoy the threads and in particular the threads about 1903 sniper rifles and USMC sniping in particular

A few things

It is obvious some people need to be removed from the “Advisory Panel,” as they really don’t understand the subject matter they are posting about.. Second I used to correspond frequently with some of the people named in a recent post .. and can tell you they wouldn’t have agreed with the posters comments .

In particular Larry Reynolds understood a lot about WW2 USMC sniping /Unertl snipers (even though his understanding wasn’t derived from going to the archives).. and I’d bet would laugh at some of the total BS comments made (as would a few of the other people mentioned..

Suffice to say just because you have a title or post count doesn’t mean you have a clue.. USMC sniping has evolved over the years and so has the knowledge of how they were used in WW2.

Guys like Steve (corplnorton) have contributed immensely to that understanding. By using the archives and researching the topic it removes a lot of the speculation and “wives tales,” which unfortunately have been previously accepted.

It is beyond comical and shows pettiness when you make clueless post and then ask for the thread to be locked

When the thread is then locked.. IMO it discredits the knowledge and validity of the site..

Just my opinion
