Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model 1903 was designed in 1901 by T.C. Johnson, a longstanding employee of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The weapon that became of this patent was the Model 1903, the first semi-automatic firearm commercially sold by the company.
The Model 1903 was introduced in 1903 and is notable as being the first semi-automatic rifle design that was offered for commercial sale in North America. The Model 1903 had a variety of finishes, from the Standard to the Deluxe models; these can be differentiated by the buttstock. Standard models have straight buttstocks while Deluxe models have semi-pistol gripped buttstocks. The rifle enjoyed modest commercial success, which was enough for Winchester to ask Johnson to design a number of upscaled derivatives, starting with the Model 1905.
In the 1930s, however, the Model 1903 was falling out of popularity mainly due to its use of a proprietary cartridge which was the only cartridge it could use for it to chamber properly. As such, a replacement had to be made; the replacement for the weapon was known as the Model 63, which is generally the same weapon except chambered for the far more ubiquitous 22 Long Rifle cartridge. Production ended in 1933 with some 122,974 produced, with a few more produced until 1936 due to part clearing.
