In excellent COMBAT USED condition, we have an extremely difficult to locate early U.S. WWI Issued M-1903 Springfield Rifle that was manufactured in October, 1917 at the beginning of the ramp up of wartime production, one of the last blued rifles manufactured before the black phosphate finish was adopted.   This rifle is JFC cartouched and is 100% factory original with an excellent bore. 

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 an 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.  Today in 2022 were are at the one hundred and 4 year mark for the fiercest fighting the US  forces participated in.  This is certainly an important artifact of those times and in a condition that would be impossible to find in most museums.  WWI era 1903 springfield rifles in original condition are nearly impossible to locate!
