Is that a French casque I see?
I suspect the most practical way to shoot the M1903a4 sniper rifle is by using obsolete old-school rifle doctrine: by making use of the magazine cutoff.
So the rifle is used as a single-shot weapon, preserving the loaded magazine for emergency firepower. That unusual magazine-cutoff feature could make the M1903 rifle one of the more practical scoped sniper-conversions of Mauser-type standard military rifles.
Looks like it. same one he was wearing in his promo on WWII American Weapons.
Seen a couple of “Casques” pop up in WWII you tube Videos, really obvious when other actors wearing proper US ones.
this is new (to me) awaiting moderation?
