1903 Springfield Rifle

A quick look at my 1903 Springfield rifle, manufactured by the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois. Caliber is, of course, the venerable 30/06 Springfield (.30 caliber, 1906). This particular rifle was fitted during WWII with a new High Standard manufactured barrel. It shoots pretty well for a rifle that's around 90 years old!

How many dollars does it cost?

@wanderson9217 I suggest for current values that you check out Auction Arms, Gunbroker or the Shotgun News, or get a copy of the Blue Book of Gun Values.

@theultimatemuffin881 That's more than I could tell you right off the top of my head. I think I can only say that I never have enough ammo!

@lukie117 Mostly supply and demand.There are boatloads of Mosin's still available on the surplus market, while quantities of surplus 1903's are a thing of the past.

the sound of ammunition, being placed

is music to my ears

A fun little fact is the M1903 actually saw limited service in the Vietnam war.

@nerfreak01 there are no manufactured versions of this, your best bet is modifying a k98

@WW2AirSofters If I were you I would try one of the surplus forums.
