1903A3 "Springfield" Rifle

The World War II Springfield Rifle - the Model 03-A3. This was a simplified version of the 1903 to supplement the M1 Garand for troops in World War 2. Many Marines and Army soldiers hit the battlefield with the 03-A3. This example was built at the Remington plant. During World War II - only Remington and Smith Corona (the typewriter company) built 03A3 rifles from the original WWI tooling from Rock Island - .30-06
