Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
With the onset of WWI the American public became interested in military training. Groups of men and boys formed organizations that promoted military drill and rifle training. The periodicals of the period are full of advertisements for instruction manuals, uniforms and inexpensive training devises. Several firms advertised inexpensive 1903 Springfield replicas for drill purposes. They ranged from crude wooden rifles to excellent functional replicas. They ranged in price from a few cents to several dollars.
Drill rifles are interesting due to their variety and application. In some cases they differ only slightly from training rifles, making them difficult to classify. In the past, drill rifles were often made from obsolete military firearms that had been modified in such a way as to make them incapable of firing live ammunition. While drill rifles had some military application, their primary use was in training non military personnel in the various elements of drill with a firearm.
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.
