03 Rifles in the Movies

they even used 1903's in the Red Badge of Courage, starring Audie Murphy.
In the movie where they cross the river, watch closely, you will see modern rifles
being carried by civil war soldiers.

Look at the Marine Memorial at Arlington....one Marine has a carbine with a bayonet lug. They call it artistic privilage. So did Hollywood.

I haven't seen The Red Badge of Courage in a long time but the uniforms are 1870s style and the muskets are mostly Trapdoor Springfields.

I think you mean Gen. Joseph Stilwell. See Attached.

If you're referring to me, I meant General Ridgeway. I've seen pictures of him taken in Korea.

I was unaware of Maxwell carrying an 03 in Korea. I saw a picture of Stilwell carrying one in China during WWII.

Both versions of From Here to Eternity.

The Sand Pebbles shows off the 03 nicely.

they even can be seen crossing the river with Audie Murphy and Bill Mauldin in the movie "Red Badge of Courage".
