1903 Drawings

[45B20]

Last time I spoke with Eric, of Nilcolaus Associates, he was had acquired a good number (perhaps most) of the drawings for the A3. He is going to publish them in a book like he has for the M1917 and M1. You could contact him and see how far along he is. I have not checked his website for some time, maybe it is done.

The URL below is an on-line copy of Colvin and Viall's book "UNITED STATES RIFLES AND MACHINE GUNS" published in 1917. There is more detail about the manufacturing of the 03 than you ever wanted to know.
Internet Archive: Free Download: United States rifles and machine guns : a detailed account of the methods used in manufacturing the Springfield, 1903 model service rifle; also descriptions of the modified Enfield Rifle and three types of machine guns

Wow, that's even better than getting it from the library. I'll have to try to model the barrel tonight. Looks like that is the most complicated part.
