I'm building a 1903 Springfield sniper rifle after many years of searching for a 1903 that was already drilled. I would like for it to be correct to the VietNam era.
My questions are:
What scope(s) were used on the 1903 during the course of the war? I've been told or read that the Weaver K4 and Redfield 3x9 Accurange (initially Green and later Satin Blue) were the main ones. But, I've also read that the Redfield "TV screen" scope was also used.
Was the Springfield 1903A4 the only Springfield used or were there any 1903A1 or 1903A3's.
Were all the 1903 Springfield equipped with the "C" stock (pistol grip) or were there any straight stocks used.
Thanks for any information you can pass on.
