That is very impressive!
I am very surprised by the shape of the barrel. I expected something much thinner like the mosin nagant. No wonder the 03A3 is known for accuracy.
The barrel profile reminds me of the DD S2W ( strength-to-wegiht) profile, starts thick and gets thinner towards the muzzle, provides a stiff barrel that is optimized for weight savings.
Springfield figured that out 100 years ago!
