M1903 History
The Springfield M1903 can trace its design roots to the Spanish Mauser rifle so closely that many say that it is actually a Mauser design with only slight modifications. Despite these slight modifications, like a 2 piece firing pin, Mauser filed a lawsuit against the US government, which it won resulting in the payment of $3,000,000 to Mauser from the US.
The M1903, up until the United States involvement in World War I was produced by either The Springfield Armory (when it was federally owned) or Rock Island Arsenal and about 850,000 were produced up until that point. The M1903 was valued as a tool to the soldier because if its sheer power, high speed projectile and its accuracy. Also during this early time in the bolt action rifle's history, the introduction of the Pederson device (which was used to allow the M1903 to fire the .30 caliber pistol cartridge) occurred and modifications to the ammunition and sights were made.
During World War II additional manufacturers were added to the list of makers of the M1903, namely Remington and Smith-Corona (known for their typewriters). The Smith Corona M1903 rifle usually does not have any markings on the rifle, as many were produced in haste to fulfill the war demand.
By the time that the M1903-A4 was the Army's first standardized sniper rifle, but it was not well received mainly because optics were not evolved enough, with only low magnification and was prone to moisture gathering in the scope.
This rifle was mainly phased out of service before the Korean War in favor of the M1 Garand and M1 Rifles but is still used by honor guards and different drill squads.

Senior Member Location: Colorado or Louisiana or.. | http://www.springfield-armory.com/index.html If you'll check out the site and the archives at 1911forum.com..you'll see more than you wanted to know I'm sure. In short..SAs' factory is in Brazil. There are a FEW models fitted and finished in the USA..Almost all the production pistols are made, fitted, and finished in Brazil. You can contact SA for info on the models that are fitted and finished here..More than likely..it will be the TRP Pro, The Trophy Match and anything that is custom ordered will be done by Dave Williams and crew at the SA Custom Shop.. davew@springfield-armory.com I have an SA Champion that I've had for almost a year..It was ok for a while, but I had to replace the ejector, extractor, safety and buff it up a little..It's totally trustworthy now..They are a good place to 'start'.. and the pistols from the Custom Shop are at a different level than the rest of the production pistols. They are getting better all the time according to the posts I've seen and from other owners comments I've seen. You can contact me at gyp_c@excite.com if you need anything further.. _________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>g2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ..no matter where ya' go ..there ya' are.. ..BanZai from the 8th <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: gyp_c2 on 2001-10-04 18:30 ]</font> |
