Our ROTC supply sergeant had an Army friend who was stationed at Fort Knox. He told our ROTC detachment commander that his Army supply sergeant friend would be in the NY area and a pair of tickets to Camelot would "grease the skids". The tickets were provided and our drill team received 100 '03's at a nickle a piece! They were still packaged in canvas bags with the original cosmoline. The manufacturing dates were in 1939 and 1940. They had never made it into WWII action because the M-1 carbine replaced it! Our seargeant said that there were vast underground storage tunnels where these weapons had been stored and I'm sure there still packed with WWII weapons. Kinda like the storage facility depicted at the end of the film "Indian Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark!"
