As produced by Springfield Arsenal and the Rock Island Armory, the pre-1917 Model 1903 was probably the finest made and finished bolt-action military rifle in history. In 1942 a simple aperture rear sight replaced the Model 1903s' complicated M1905 sight, and the rifle's designation became the U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, Model 1903A3.
The Springfield Model 1903A3 was the last purpose-built, bolt-action military rifle used by the U.S. Army.
The U.S. Rifle, Sniper, Model 1903A4 guns were assembled from Remington 1903A3 rifles selected for their superior accuracy, fitted with pistol-grip stocks, and scoped with Weaver 330C telescopic sights.
