i think that army scope was the lyman alaskan if i remember right. It ain't much of a scope.
on the other hand i have a mauser k98 Scout rifle, with a side mounted zf71 scope, it ain't any better.
i have managed to acquire quite a few of them, one being in the first few months of production, up to and through WWII.
the early WWII springfield 1903's are kind of funky with some of the finishes.
I don't think in a lot of cases they were used very much. Some muzzle guage at o or 1.
by saying not used very much, i don't mean all, some were used pretty hard.
But as the garand became more available, the need was not so much.
I have a early WWII remington, you would need to see the finish to believe it, much different than the early ones.
