In very good plus factory original condition, we have an extremely difficult to locate U.S. WWI Issued Rock Island Arsenal M-1903 Springfield Rifle that was manufactured in September, 1918 at the height of wartime production. This rifle comes with the original Kerr sling. The bore is excellent, and this is one of the double heat treated rifles.
As you know, most of the rifles issued during the War were the M-1917 U.S. Enfield, as M-1903 production could just not keep up with the demand of fielding a wartime army. Almost all of these guns were rebuilt and reworked after both world wars and finding a rifle such as this is an absolute extreme rarity. Finding a rifle such as this for your collection is an extremely challenging endeavor; almost all of these rifles were lost in the war or rebuilt immediately after. This is one of the very few straight up WWI rifles that we have had come through the office.
