Unertl Sniper

[Bob Seijas]

I'm not trying to start a fight with the '03 guys but I have to admit to a little disappointment on their failure to acknowledge that Steve Norton's article in the Fall 2018 GCA Journal rewrote collector knowledge on the iconic USMC M1903 Unertl Sniper rifle. He proved that those who insisted that some were built on standard rifles because they ran out of match rifles were simply wrong. They did not understand that some were built on Match Target rifles and those rifles were former National Match guns that had been rebarreled with standard barrels not star gauged. Our publication of the article was controversial for us and cost me an assistant editor who resigned over it. But did any of them say, "Nice job, we were wrong"? Hardly. The silence was deafening, and I personally resent it. Rant off.
