Historical Significance

As the war effort ramped up, Remington was tasked with restarting M1903 production using original tooling. These early rifles—prior to the simplified 1903A3—retain many of the classic Springfield features, including the milled components and fine sight graduations. They represent an important part of the shift from peacetime to wartime production.
