US SMITH-CORONA Model 1903A3 .30-06 SPRG Bolt Action MILITARY Rifle C&R Syracuse, New York Manufactured Infantry Rifle Made c1944!
Description: US SMITH-CORONA Model 1903A3 .30-06 SPRG Bolt Action MILITARY Rifle C&R Syracuse, New York Manufactured Infantry Rifle Made c1944! Here we present a U.S. Smith-Corona Model 1903A3 Bolt Action Infantry Rifle, made circa 1944 at the Springfield Arsenal. This rifle had a production run from 1903 through 1949 with over 3,000,000 produced. Early during World War II, Smith-Corona shifted away from making typewriters to producing Model 1903A3 Springfield Rifles with the assistance from Remington Arms and High Standard Manufacturing Company. Smith-Corona produced a total of 234,580 rifles during the course of the war. The M1903 Springfield, formally the United States Rifle, is an American five-round magazine fed, bolt-action service repeating rifle, used primarily during the first half of the 20th century. It was officially adopted as a United States military bolt-action rifle on June 19, 1903, and saw service in World War I. It was officially replaced as the standard infantry rifle by the faster-firing semi-automatic eight-round M1 Garand starting in 1936. However, the M1903 Springfield remained in service as a standard issue infantry rifle during World War II since the U.S. entered the war without sufficient M1 rifles to arm all troops. It also remained in service as a sniper rifle from 1936 through 1975, which included World War II, the Korean War, and even in the Vietnam War. It still remains popular as a civilian firearm, historical collector's piece, a competitive shooting rifle, and as a military drill rifle. Initially, the 1903 Springfield was chambered in a new .30-03 caliber. The cartridge employed a rimless, necked-down case with a 220-grain round-nosed bullet that left the muzzle of the 24-inch barrel at some 2,300 feet-per-second. Though the round was certainly adequate for military work, when the Germans adopted a superior pointed spitzer bullet in 1904, the Americans followed suit with their own version that had a 150-grain cupro-nickel-jacketed bullet that boosted the older round's velocity by some 400 fps. And thus, the famed .30-06 was born. The overall condition is near fine! The action is strong and tight with a smooth bolt pull. The bore is bright. This example sports a solid stock with a circle “P” stock to the rear of the trigger guard. “FJA” and crossed cannons are stamped on the left stock. The barrel is dated “10-43” underneath “SC” over a flaming bomb. Here is a great piece of WWII history for the collection. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 24 inches in length. Caliber: 30-06 Springfield Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2485 #201446 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
