I think it's a FJA stamp.
... Nah. Who the hell would spell Iwo Jima with an F? I never heard of Fiwo JIma.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Plus I would like to think they didn't saddle anyone with a Springfield when Garand's and BAR's where available!

Just got back from some rock shootin'. This thing is straight UBER.
Does anybody know what load the sights are regulated for exactly? I'm using a moderate load of H4895 and the 155gr. Scenar.
Travis When I was young 13-14 I used a 150 gr. seirras and 47.5-48 grs. of IMR3031 , it was accurate and the load was used by someone my family knew that used them to be onsights for a garand and 03. Velocity was probably around 2750ish.

Neat find! Out near the front sight will be a stamp that tells you the month and year of production. Also neat if you ever get a misfire, just reach up, yank the end of the striker to re-cock it, and it might just fire on the second try. I have a O3A3 that was sporterized some years before I bought it. When my eyes were younger I shot some groups around an inch at 100 yards, despite the two groove wartime barrel. Eventually a few years later I realized the dark spot in the barrel was actually a slight bulge. I haven't shot it since, but I might again some day.

Something in the 2700 fps range (150 grain) perhaps.

Available is the key word I think. Marines were not issued M1 rifles in the Pacific until after most of the fighting on Guadalcanal was over. They used 03 Springfield's there and during the banana wars prior to WWII to pretty good effect.

The striker rubbed against my gloved hand when I was shooting rocks and it didn't go bang. Ripped it back and tried again. Sure enough, BANG! Travis

Cool rifle Flave but too bad it's in such a lame cartridge.
The 30-06....
Too big for rabbits and too small for elephants. Most versatile cartridge/rifle ever... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Varmints/110_1170.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Elk/122_3195.jpg)

The 30-06 is on of my favorites. i have more of them than any other cartridge. I have two garands, one with a heavy krieger on it that shoots .3" . Neither of them had any notches in the stock.

All I see is the backside of a handsome man.
What am I missing?
