ROCK ISLAND ARMORY 1903

Minimal data and a long history: this used Rock Island Armory 1903 is a bolt-action rifle in .30-06 Springfield with a 24 inch barrel, a four round capacity and a wood finish.

The 1903 Springfield was built at Springfield Armory and also at Rock Island Arsenal, the large government plant on the Mississippi. Rock Island made them in great numbers in the early years, and examples turn up in many conditions. The rifle was the standard American infantry arm in the First World War, and its Mauser-style action is strong and accurate.

If you are drawn to rifles with real service history, a Rock Island 1903 is a respectable choice. Check the receiver markings and serial number against a reference, and look at the barrel date to see whether the barrel is original. A replacement barrel is not unusual, since many were replaced during use.

The .30-06 cartridge is easy to find and powerful enough for any North American game, so the rifle can be a hunter as well as a collection piece.

It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, and the background check is done there.
