this is a good copy of the 1903a3 if you are a collector these are a few draw backs..a bayonet does not fit it properly and the rear sling loop is only 1 it should be 1.1/4 to fit military slings so a real sling will not fit unless you change the swivel. now on a shooting level the gun shoots great very accurate and nice and straight easy to cock and very quite.. it is one of the best spring shooters i have seen out of the box the fiinsh is very nice as is the wood stock,color is good and the whole gun is tight no wobble and the bolt is solid.
