Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I've found a few extremely useful reference books, manuals, and other works on US Military rifles that I figure you guys can use.

I'll post the links I have handy and add others later when I backtrack to the source of PDF files in my Documents.
First
''United States rifles and machine guns : a detailed account of the methods used in manufacturing the Springfield, 1903 model service rifle; also descriptions of the modified Enfield rifle and three types of machine guns"

http://www.archive.org/details/unitedst ... 00colvrich

"Description and Rules of Management for the US Magazine rifle model of 1898
And Magazine Carbine model of 1899" 1917 edition
http://books.google.com/books?id=XKEtAA ... t&resnum=3

"Target range pocket book for use with the U.S. magazine rifle, model of 1903, cal. .30 ... April 28, 1908 (1917)"

A couple more oldies but goodies by Townsend Whelen

"Suggestions to Military Riflemen (1909)"

http://www.archive.org/details/suggesti ... 00whelgoog

The American rifle; a treatise, a text book, and a book of practical instruction in the use of the rifle (1918)

http://www.archive.org/details/american ... 00wheliala

Lots of interesting and valuable technical information on the Springfield 1903 and other US rifles.
