	Modern Firearms - Rifle Springfield M1903 M1903A1 M1903A3 M1903A4
		The Krag rifles were too weak for ammunition desired by US Army authorities, and lacked some vital features, such as clip-loading, so in 1900 the state-owned Springfield armory was set up to build a new rifle, based on the battle-proven Mauser design.
		New rifle was re-fitted with sights regraduated for new cartridge, and was issued to US troops, but with the outbreak of the First World war it was soon discovered that US has insufficient numbers of M1903s to arm their expeditionary corps in Europe.
		The M1903 rifles were manufactured by the state-owned Springfield armory and a Rock Island armory.

		The rifle was developed due to observations of actions during the Spanish American War, in which Spanish troops were armed with German Mauser Model 93 rifles, which were deemed far superior to the U.S. Krag-Jørgensen rifles, in large part due to their durable internal magazines.
		All the rifles to that point consequently had to be re-tooled for a knife-type bayonet, called the Model 1905.
		The rifle was used by the U.S. military only in the opening years of the war, however, before being phased out in favor of the M1 Garand.

		The rifle itself could be a standard (at first typically a bolt-action rifle), but fitted with a telescopic sight it would become a sniper rifle.

		These rifles enables a higher volume of fire, but sacrifices some long range accuracy and are therefore and are most often adaptations of existing selective fire battle rifles or assault rifles.

	Happy 100th Birthday .30/06
		An oft-repeated sentiment regarding World War I infantry weapons is that the British went to war with a good battle rifle, the Lee Enfield; Germany with a good hunting rifle, the M98 Mauser; and America with a good target rifle, the 1903 Springfield.
		No wonder the designers and developers of the 1903 Springfield had an eye on its accuracy and how well it would perform on the target range: They were target shooters themselves, with roots reaching back to “Berdan’s Sharpshooters” of Civil War legend.
		Naturally, the accuracy of these rifles was complemented by specially loaded target-grade ammo, with commercial manufacturers—Remington and Winchester—vying with Frankfort Arsenal to produce the most accurate.30/06 ammo.
