  1. Default USS California Springfield M1903

    Springfield M1903 serial number 211946

    I bought this rifle around 20 years ago. I was once told this was salvaged from the USS California. Is there any way to positively confirm this?

    Hello PD
    One of the problems with rifle #211946 is that we are not sure of the manufacturer.
    The rifle was one of 91 rifles in Battery #4 on the USS California on an inventory salvage report dated
    2/13/1942
