In this clip from Sgt. York, looks to me like Gary Cooper has a 1905 rear sight when he shoots his sighter, and a 1903 sight moments later when he shoots the 5-round clip. About 8 minutes in. Apologies if this has been covered previously.

Fault! Sudo swearing. Name-making-fun-of. See you again in three years or so. OK, first offense; you get a reduction in sentence (I don't really have any jurisdiction here).
I should have seen this movie but I didn't and I'm sure not watching the whole thing now to verify but I don't doubt Togors trained eye. Not being sarcastic much.If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.Comment

Mostly I just wonder how Hollywood got their prop guns back then. Some look like M1903s but in hindsight maybe they were just Bannerman specials, a conglomeration of '03 and '17 and Krag parts.Comment

Probably no one on the set knew one from the other. Don't remember the movie, but a soldier had an M1 Carbine with a bayonet lug slung over his shoulder. Scene cuts away, and when it comes back the bayonet lug is gone.Comment

Didn't most of the movie houses have there own supply house for firearms, or contracted from the usual places (wasn't Stembridge in business then?)Comment
