All mfg'd in 1943! Just recently picked up the 03A3. Now I just need a 1911A1, Thompson, BAR, etc. to complete my WWII collection.

Remington M1903A3 serial #3,477,XXX

Springfield M1 serial #2,091,XXX

Winchester M1 Carbine serial #1,301,XXX

I just started to cast for the carbine and will have to get a mold for the 03A3. I got plenty of HXP ammo for the M1.

I run BobS load (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showpost.php?p=312730&postcount=15) in my two Garands. I use a Lee 200 grain mold with a Hornady gas checked, sized .310. I can do 1" at 50 yards with this, and imagine better shooters could improve on that.

I have about 600 rounds of HXP that was purchased for brass and clips, and I don't plan on buying any more I am so happy with this load.

Yep, you are going to need a Johnson and a Grease Gun to complete that collection. Then there is a Reising, a Smith Victoy model and a whole bunch more.
