Mike, I assume you mean the Czarists were around in the 1920's not that you were on the Rifleman staff in the 1920's (you would have to be older than... well, me). But if you had current reports of M1903 SHT rifles blowing up at that time, did the NRA document them? I repeatedly see posts saying, in effect, that stories about those guns being dangerous are wrong, or even lies told by Hatcher, as proven by the "fact" that no blowups have been reported since 1918, or 1920 or whenever. AFAIK, after those guns were taken out of service no one kept track of blowups, so I wonder if the NRA did.
