Manufacturing the M1903 Rifle

[Vlim]

Hi Marc,

I think they were not secret because everybody else already had the rifle. As you say, the design is a Mauser design which was copied (without consent) from Mauser at the time.

Since the Germans already had their own rifles, and the M1903 was already a rip-off, there was not much left to be 'stolen' to begin with .
