Great video, enjoy the channel big time. Great to see another PNW guy. Sergeant York the movie has him pick up a Luger during the Medal of Honor action because of issues with 1911s cycling blanks at that time. This was a fairly common issue in films & television for several years.

That actually makes a good bit of sense, glad you’re enjoying the channel! More coming every 5th, 15th and 25th for as long as I am able 👍🏻

Great vid Tom, most of the 1903s we have in France are greek imports or put back together from various parts. I went through a local broker to find my 1903A3 and it is still in the US somewhere around Chicago I have been told.

Thank you kindly! It’s easy to take for granted the 1903 here in the states, they are everywhere. Just a matter of having the money. Gonna be repping France on the channel soon! I have a Berthier 1907/15 on layaway right now and I just got a 1950s MAS 36

Great content. Front sight hood makes target acquisition difficult. Protection during shipping makes perfect sense. Nice point. Gun room very nice by the way. Lol

I seriously have to ask .Did the original Springfield have a hooded sight ? . Also , great Bolt operation .

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 2 жыл бұрын

By my understanding no, the hood was only for transportation. Thanks for watching!

Awesome bolt-action Mauser designed rifle. However, it’s not perfect. I heard Springfields under the 800,000 s/n range (low serial number) are dangerous to shoot.

I’ve heard this as well, generally it’s an ammo thing. Never wise to put hot hunting loads through a milsurp, mine is just outside of that range (809,xxx) thanks for watching!
