[Quint]

Hi Quint,
What year is your Springfield? I wouldn't mind having one, (collection/heirloom) but they are probably way too heavy for me for practical
taget shooting.
I was given an M1 Carbine with oiler, sling and bayonet for Christmas. That is my top semi.
The .223 bolt is my top relaxation plinking for pleasure.

First time on the range with it. (Christmas Day)
I had just sighted it in.
It was cold and muddy.
(fingerless gloves: what's the point?)

The standard M1 Carbine magazine is 15r

I'll check the 03 Springfield. It's not an A3. I'll get a picture of it to you.
My only semi is a JC Higgins 22. Tube magazine & 4X scope. Nice solid little gun but I always preferred the Savage  22/410.
I almost bought a Rem 40XB 222 target/varmint rifle back in the 70's. Hard to find the straight 222 anymore.
I got rid of all my reloading and bullet molding equipment. Was fun. I kind of miss shooting though. Camera now.
