[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1227045, member: 97414"] The USA joined in on the great war on Apr 6th 1917, Briton and Canada were at it with 303 British Lee Enfeild as they seen the very rare 30-06 in 1917 thanks too the USA that had a few too spare. Could most likely be wrong on many of the dates since my computer is down. Great war from 1914 to 1919. The USA had the 30 in service at the beginning of it. And yes to 7.62x51 in 1954. The 30-06 did server in WW 1, WW 2, Korean war, and parts of the Vietnam conflict. The main part I was meaning to bring up was calibers in North America were measured by inch less the metric system, it was thought at the time that using metric numbers would not be wise since metric muasers 7x56 and the 8mm took so many soldiers lives,,, this might of played a role that mm did not catch on till after WW 1 and 2. I was trying too find out what the 30-06 came out in first, it might of been for a machine gun, then was fitted into the spring field 30-03 rifle too become the 30-06. I'm more wrong than right since computer is down. Thanks for clarifying. Pal Don [/QUOTE]
