Remington manufactured the 1903 model, with the barrel mounted sight from around late October/November 1941, until December of 1942. Together, the two firms made over 1.3 million 03s before production halted. The rifles were made by the Remington Arms company and the Smith Corona Typewriter company, freeing other facilities to produce the M1 and other more modern designs.

The equipment was quite worn, and within a few days of production, Remington was approaching the Ordnance Board with proposed modifications, which ultimately, over the course of about 12 months production, became the US Model 1903A3.Īs a matter of note, Remington was assigned serial number blocks starting at 3,000,000, with some blocks assigned to Smith Corona (SC serial numbers start at 3,604,000) interspersed into the 3-4 million range. This was the M1903A3 Springfield, commonly known today as the 03A3 to collectors and historians. Remington initiated production of the US Model 1903 rifle in late 1941, a near copy of the last incarnation of the '03 produced at Rock Island Arsenal, which stands to reason, as the Gov't let Remington use their machinery, models, and gauges to manufacture them. Remington DID, under contract, produce the 'devices' and ammunition, but the Mark I rifles were manufactured in the Government Armory exclusively. Pederson, of Remington Arms (heavily involved in the production of the US Model 1917 rifle at the time), developed and proposed the modifications to the standard M1903 rifle which included the ejection port milled into the left receiver rail, and modified trigger/sear assembly, cutoff assembly, special installation and maintenance tools, magazines, and ammunition for the "Pederson device". All production of the US Model 1903 Mark I rifles occured at Springfield Armory between 1918-1920. Springfield 1903 Show Filters Showing all 25 results.
