Springfield M1903

The first mass-produced version of the Springfield M1903 rifle, based off comtemporary Mauser designs such as the Gewehr M1898, and meant to replace the outdated and outperforming earlier rifles. Firing the .30-06 cartridge and using a modern stripper clip, the Springfield 1903 went on to become the service rifle for most units of the US Armed forces from it's inception in 1903 up to the Vietnam war, being complemented by the M1 Garand during WW2 and the Korean war, and ultimately replaced by the M14.
During WW1, an modified bolt chambered with .30-18 Auto rounds and capable of semi-automatic fire dubbed the Pedersen Device was introduced, alongside the Mk.I rifle to accept it, although the war ended before it could be used. Most units were destroyed after the war and only a few Pedersen Devices remain in existance.
