03A1 Handguard?

[Johnny Peppers]

OK. Maybe so.

It was for a fact. I would mark through that bit of information in Poyer's book.
Some authors have a tendency to copy available material from someone else rather than go to the trouble of doing their own research which perpetuates any incorrect information.

Thanks for the insight.

I'm more of a accumulator than a collector of firearms. I'm military and buy my weapons to shoot. My taste is all over the place, i.e. I found this 03A1 on ARFCOM while searching for a Magpul UBR stock for a 3-Gun AR that I compete with.

That's not to say that I don't want my firearms to me "honest."

My 1903 library is a bit dated. What do you consider the best reference?

Regards,

The best reference on the M1903 rifles is The Springfield Model 1903 Rifles by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy.

Hope this helps.
