I called a local company that advertised online. Went down ,looked at a few containers. I chose a 40' one trip ,one set of doors, and 9 foot height.

The conversion started way back in 2005-6. The new ones do not whop whop whop anymore but like most rotary wing aircraft they are still easy to tell apart. The upgrades in performance and better part compatability between hueys and cobras is a big deal.- matthias

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!
If i understand correctly you are going off of straight math to make your determination of "what it is". That is a simple and straightforward way of explaining it.

You are 98.8% the same as a chimp. A few things change and humans are here. The differences are small so , if it smells like a dire wolf, looks like a dire wolf , etc. , I will go ahead and say it's a dire wolf.- matthias

What would be a good modern functional scope for a m1903a3
Maybe cruise gunbroker for vintage leupold scopes. Some of the older m8 scopes are quite nice. I believe they came in several magnifications and they have a smaller objective bell.- matthias
