Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The M1903 and the M1903A3 rifles were used in combat alongside the M1 Garand by the US military during World War II and saw extensive use and action in the hands of US troops in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. The US Marines were initially armed with M1903 rifles in early battles in the Pacific, such as the Battle of Guadalcanal. However, the jungle battle environment generally favored self-loading rifles. Later, Army units arriving on the island were armed with M1 Garands. The U.S. Army Rangers were also a major user of the M1903 and the M1903A3 during World War II, with the Springfield being preferred over the M1 Garand for certain commando missions. World War II saw the new production of the Springfield at private manufacturers, such as Remington Arms and the Smith-Corona Typewriter Company. Remington began production of the M1903 in September 1941, at serial number 3,000,000, utilizing old tooling from the Rock Island Arsenal that had been in storage since 1919.

Remington began production of the M1903 in September 1941, at serial number 3,000,000, utilizing old tooling from the Rock Island Arsenal that had been in storage since 1919.
The very early rifles are almost indistinguishable from those made in 1919 at Rock Island. As the already worn tooling began to wear beyond use, Remington started to seek Army approval for a continuously increasing number of changes and simplifications to both speed up manufacturing and improve performance. The milled parts on the Remington M1903 were gradually replaced with stamped parts until, at about serial number 3,330,000, the Army and Remington recognized that a new model name was appropriate. Other features of the M1903, such as high-grade walnut stocks with finger grooves, were replaced with less expensive but serviceable substitutes. Most milled parts made by Remington were marked with an "R". Production of the M1903 was discontinued in favor of the M1903A3.
The most noticeable visual difference in the M1903A3 was the replacement of the barrel-mounted rear sight with a smaller, simpler aperture rear sight mounted on the rear of the receiver, which Remington designed; it was primarily adopted to speed familiarization by soldiers already trained on the M1 Garand, which had a similar sighting system. Other modifications included a new stamped cartridge follower; the rounded edges of the latest design largely alleviated the "fourth-round jam" complaints of the earlier machined part.
