The Model 1903 Springfield is an American five-round magazine-fed, bolt-action service repeating rifle, used primarily during the first half of the 20th century. The 1903 was first used in combat during the Philippine–American War, and it was officially adopted by the United States as the standard infantry rifle on June 19, 1903, where it saw service in World War I, and was replaced by the faster-firing semi-automatic eight-round M1 Garand starting in 1936. However, the 1903 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 during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It remains popular as a civilian firearm, historical collector's piece, a competitive shooting rifle, and as a military drill rifle. According to the serial number it appears that this US Springfield Armory 1903 was Made in 1918. .30-06 Springfield Price: $1,399.99 Curio/Relic: Yes Metal Condition: The metal is in very good condition Wood Condition: "Wood stock is in very good condition, shows very minimal marks and dings, and is not cracked or chipped Barrels: "24 inch barrel, stamped with SA, flaming bomb, 9-42 Triggers: Smooth curved trigger Stock Dimensions: "13 inch LOP, overall length 43½ inches Butt Pad: Steel butt plate with door Weight: 8 lbs 9 oz Sights: "Fixed dovetailed serrated ramp front sight, adjustable ""ladder"" rear sight Item Location: Wichita, KS Contact Seller |
