Did Springfield Ever Produce any 1903A3's

[lencac]

Never thought about it until now. If Springfield ever made any A3's, I don't think I've ever seen one.

the alterations to the original 1903 were a result of Remington's work in simplifying and reducing the cost of producing the 1903, which was the rifle they originally contracted with the government to build. The final result was the 1903A3, which was also built by Smith-Corona, but never by Springfield.

Sometimes, you see "generic" rifles referred to as the 1903A3 Springfield", but such descriptions are not correct.

Springfield was too busy cranking out M1 rifles.

They did produce large numbers of M1903 parts and continue to overhaul M1903s throughout most of WWII.
