Thanks for the write-up, buddy!
The Vetterli does look interesting. Looks like it uses a Henry style case ejector. Also I totally agree on not converting the bolt.
Cool Springfields! I was not aware of the changes to the A3 model that you mentioned besides the peep sight. I had always thought of the A3 as an improvement, but it sounds like the sight itself was the only improvement and everything else was cost reduced. If I recall, I believe the Marines used A3's instead of M1's during WWII.
