Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The M1903 was manufactured by Springfield Armory at varying levels of production from 1903 until the late 1930s and at Rock Island Arsenal from 1903 until 1913 and again from 1917 until just after World War I. Even though large numbers of M1917 “American Enfields” were manufactured and issued during World War I to supplement the supply of M1903s, the “Springfield ’03” remained the standard U.S. military service rifle until the adoption of the semi-automatic M1 “Garand” rifle in 1936. Even after adoption of the M1, however, the ’03 remained the primary American service rifle until production of the Garand could meet the demand.

Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Such was the situation at the beginning of World War II. The disaster at Dunkirk left the British in extremely perilous straits as thousands of badly needed rifles were abandoned in France when British troops were evacuated to England. Representatives of the British government turned to the United States for the acquisition of new arms. Several avenues were explored, including discussions with Remington Arms Company for the production of rifles under British contract. It was suggested that the old M1903 production tooling in storage at Rock Island Arsenal be used to produce rifles for the British.
The U.S. War Department agreed to lease Remington the somewhat worn Rock Island ’03 manufacturing equipment and provided some 600,000 walnut rifle stock “blanks” also in storage. Remington agreed to pay for the stock blanks by manufacturing cartridges for the U.S. government under future contracts.
