THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE FOR THE 1903 COLLECTOR,
By
This review is from: Springfield 1903 Rifles, The (Hardcover)
COLONEL BROPHY'S BOOK IS "THE" GUIDE FOR THE COLLECTOR OF THE MODEL 1903 SPRINGFIELD AND ITS VARIATIONS. COVERING THE RIFLE'S DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRESSION...THIS BOOK CLEARLY IDENTIFIES WHY THE RIFLE WAS DEVELOPED, HOW IT WAS DEVELOPED AND PRODUCTION MEANS AND METHODS. FOR A HISTORY BUFF, ARMS COLLECTOR, OR A PERSON WHO FOLLOWS DESIGN TECHNOLOGY. IT ALSO ILLUSTRATES HOW THE GUN WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THE ARMED FORCES BEFORE WWI, USED IN WAR, LATER SOLD ON THE CIVIL MARKET AND RETURNED TO PRODUCTION FOR USE THE WWII. OF SINGULAR INTEREST TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD BUY THIS BOOK IS THAT: IN AN ARTICULATE MANNER THE TEXT DESCRIBES ISSUES THAT WOULD BE NECCESSARY TO DECERN THE HISTORICAL VALUE OR "COLLECTABILITY" OF THIS RIFLES

The Best Springfield Book,
By
This review is from: Springfield 1903 Rifles, The (Hardcover)
Many books have been written about the U.S. M1903 Springfield Rifle, and this one is the very best, bar none. It gets down into the technical and minutiae without becoming a bore, and has enough of life inserted to make it readable. If you need a textbook on the M1903, this is The Book to own. now I have to consider disposing of several books I have purchased, as they are no longer needed>

This review is from: Springfield 1903 Rifles, The (Hardcover)
Have a lot of springfield books, but this one is by far the best.I don't know why I didn't buy it earlier. Very informative and a lot of great information. If you like springfield 03's you need this book. A little expensive, but worth it.
