Item Description: Rock Island M1903, ME 1 and TE 1 good bore $915

ME 1 and TE 1
Rebarreled in 1944 for service in WWII
Rock Island Arsenal produced a total of 346,000 M1903s while Springfield produced 1,340,000
The Model 1903 was officially adopted as a United States military bolt-action rifle on June 19, 1903, and saw service in World War I. It was officially replaced as the standard infantry rifle by the faster-firing semi-automatic eight-round M1 Garand starting in 1936. However, the M1903 Springfield remained in service as a standard issue infantry rifle during World War II, since the U.S. entered the war without sufficient M1 rifles to arm all troops. It also remained in service as a sniper rifle during World War II, the Korean War, and even in the early stages of the Vietnam War. It remains popular as a civilian firearm, historical collector's piece, a competitive shooting rifle, and as a military drill rifle.
