If you no not where you are going, any Road will get you there!
it was 1971-1972 in San Diego. We shot the '03 for fam fire and the Garand for Qualifying. Also fired the 1911A1 and a Thompson Sub (don't ask me why any of these weapons except the 1911, Fleet Units had M14's and M16's)
And yes I have been called an "Old Timer a few times (a day)

If the follower is marked with a "W" then it is from a Winchester M1917. The followers from '03s and '17s are pretty close to identical.
