  • Hey nice rifle! I own a Mosin Nagant and hopefully will be getting a Mauser 98k and one day a 1903 springfield. Quick question though what gun range are you at ? Looks familiar to this one I go to the Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club, wouldnt happen to be it would it?

  • @LDXaborg

    Actually it is Gateway.. In Jacksonville, FL right?

  • Wait a second, I thought an M1903 Springfield only had a capacity of 5 rounds, so how was yours able to hold 6 rounds? I dont get it...

  • @Xgendude14

    You can fit 5 in the mag + 1 in the chamber...

    Marksmen would frequently load the mag to full capacity and turn it to single fire mode. They would then load each round while they picked people off at a distance. If they were rushed, or needed to fire fast, they would switch to semi auto mode and have the 5 rounds waiting in the Mag.

  • isnt it bad to force the extractor over the case? you had to slide the round into the chamber with the bolt open and then load the 5 rounds unless you know a different way.

  • no... it is a combat rifle... it was built to be loaded with ammunition.. what they used to do was load the internal mag with its standard 5 rounds... and flip the switch on the side to the off position... then, while ranged... load bullets 1 by 1 while picking off enemies... if they were rushed they would switch the switch to the on position and proceed to unload 5 rounds : ) gotta love it

  • i love WWII/WWI bolt actions!

  • The springfield was virtually a copy of the mauser 98. Both were reliable and accurate. The 30-06 has slightly better ballistics than the 8mm mauser. Being so similar it's hard to say one is better than the other. The springfield has a smoother action, at least mine does. It's a little lighter too.

    Them terrorists better be on their toes. You can sling some accurate lead down range...03 style. Nice vid, it's good to see another 03 fan. Keep it original and take care of it.
