I am trying to locate an article written by E.C. Crossman, published sometime between 1912-1922. The article was published in Arms & The Man, the predecessor to “The American Riflemanâ€. Although I have no idea what the name of the article was the subject is shooting a 1903 Springfield with mud in the bore. Anyone having a collection of or issues of A&TM I can send you a list of my holdings of this magazine to save time searching.

For the first person who sends me a copy of this article I will forward a nice copy of “African Rifles & Cartridges†by John Taylor, published by Samworth 1948 to show my appreciation.
