Military Surplus Arms for PA Deer.

[Adam Helmer]

gumpokc,

We are not allowed to use semi-auto rifles for PA deer hunting. Thus, my Garands, Hakims, ABL FN M49s, Tokarev 40s and SKSs stay at home in deer season.

I like the MkIII .303 for PA deer. As you may know, in 1916, the Brits dropped the magazine cutoff as well as the windage adjustable rear sight. I concur with the dropping of the cutoff, but it must have been "Military Intelligence" to drop the windage adjustable rear sight. Happily, I have several MkIIIs. In 1923, the Brits renumbered their rifles and the MkIII became the "No.1 MkIII".

I prefer a military arm for hunting. That started with my first Milsurp in 1958.
