CAS TOPICS > 1911 & Wild Bunch Shooting

Wild Bunch film

(1/1)

Major 2:
I'm watching the movie ...had not seen it in years . I noted @ 1:40 22  Ben Johnson handles his 03 Springfield,,, what was noteworthy ,  it is Scant stocked

Later when the Rifles are sold to the Mexican General they are also Scant stocked

Baltimore Ed:
Scant stocks were built by Remington for the 03A3 in the 1940s due to the stock blanks being too small for a ‘C’ stock pistol grip according to Poyer.

Major 2:
My 03 is a last year  03 receiver (not 03a3 ) as was produced 1938, it was mated to its barrel 2-42 at the  AA -Augusta Arsenal, Scant stocked.
and was issued to guards @ Fort Oglethorpe POW Prison barracks and stockades.
