You might want to look into some of that public education that you mentioned. Never mind, I know it would take to much effort on your part so I will just educate you here publicly.
The M1903 rifle was originally designed to fire the 30-03 cartridge to compete with the small arms of other countries. The 30-03 did not produce the desired results with the heavy round nosed bullets and was redesigned to fire lighter weight spitzer bullets at higher velocities and named the 30-06. Both of the original designs (rifle and cartridge) were modified in 1906 to what we know today but the rifle did not get a name change like the cartridge did. They were both designed from the beginning (1903) to be the "assault rifle" and "assault cartridge" of the times and redesigned three years later (1906) before they got it right.
And if you want to get right down to it the 30-06 was originally designed in 1901... called the 30-01.
Again, a complete loss of credibility. The hole you're digging is just getting deeper and deeper.
Oh, and BTW, the 30-06 is not a caliber. It is a cartridge. It looks like more public education is in order. The number 30 is the caliber of the bullet that the 30-06 cartridge fires. It measures .308 inches in diameter. The numbers o6 refer to the year that the cartridge design was adopted by the United States Army.
I believe what I said is:
"All the world needs is another rifle cartridge"
I'm sorry that you weren't able to read between the lines when I mentioned Springfield. I was sure that someone as intelligent as you would have been able to figure that out. But please, continue to enlighten all of us about your ability to cut and paste and quote G&A verbatim. I hope you enjoy a long life of playing Rambo with white tail deer and groundhogs. The push to make AR's look like the perfect hunting rifle has done nothing but give ammo to the anti-gun crowd. I'm sure you are a little too busy to actually read and understand what the other side sees. Just keep feeding them.
Please keep spending your money on other worthless items as well. I hope when the 28 WSSM comes out you are the first to get it.
And if you need three more lines to read between, I got that for you too.
