| The "still a hero" line made the ol eyes well up a bit. Awesome story about an American soldier that belongs to the greatest generation that has ever lived. |

| | What is more remarkable is hitting anything with one of those 1903-A4 rifles. I have one of those replicas and by today's standards it is a piece of c**p. Trigger creep makes precise shots very difficult in my opinion compared to today's purpose built precision rifles. They were like a "quick fix" in WW2 at the time. Jim |

| | There is a reason the Marine Corps refused to issue the M1903A4, and instead issued a modified M1903A1 rifle and an Unertl scope. The 4 groove barrels in some of the older A3s were much better than the 2 groove barrels used in the WW2 era A4s. |

| Those guys where truly the greatest generation. The shot that kind of group at 84 years old is amazing. |
