The M1903 Springfield, formally the United States Rifle, Calibre .30-06, Model 1903, is an American clip loaded, 5 shot, bolt-action service 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 8 round M1 Garand starting in 1937. However, the M1903 Springfield remained in service as a standard issue infantry rifle during World War 2, 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 2, the Korean War, and even in the early stages of the Vietnam War. This rifle is in very good condition, It's metalwork is undamaged with original finish and it's original woodwork has just bumps and bruises to be expected. It is crisply stamped on the breech housing 'U.S. (Army) Remington Model 1903' and serial '3047842' (illustrated). Deactivated to a pre 2017 UK specification the rifle cocks and dry fires perfectly. The barrel is stamped at the muzzle with "SA 7-42" (Springfield Armoury July 1942) & Frankford Arsenal ignited grenade mark. It has ladder rear sight, shrouded fore sight, sling swivels fitted with leather sling and steel butt plate with trap. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 18086
