[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 1936911, member: 14520"] Note also that the caliber is 30-03. Pre-dating the 30-06, obviously, by 3 years. The bayonet for the original 30-03 was the rod type. And rumor has it that President Teddy Roosevelt affected the change to the blade type bayonet. The caliber was changed, as I understand it, because of the heavier round that Germany and other countries used. All very interesting. [/QUOTE]
