The Springfield 1903 Rifle, considered one of the smoothest working
bolt action rifles ever made, saw action through World War II and
is still used in hunting today. Its extreme popularity down the
years has lent this gun a romance that has lingered to the present.
The Springfield 1903 Rifles is a book worthy of its legendary
subject. It is the massive lifetime work of the rifle's premier
authority, William Brophy. His exhaustive research took Brophy into
some of the rarest collections in existence. These are reflected in
the book's more than 1,500 superb, first-quality photos, which
represent the Springfield Armory; the Navy Museum in Quantico,
Virginia; the U.S. Army Historical Institute; and Colonel
Crossman's collection, among others. Such extensive documentation
makes The Springfield 1903 Rifles a history classic. It follows the
gun through both World Wars, tracing its development and detailing
accessories, appendages, racks, bayonets, scabbards, various
models, and much more. New information on the bushmaster and Marine
Corps sniper is also included, along with historical anecdotes
about Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Crossman. The book appeals to
those interested in the history of firearms as well as collectors.
Interest in the subject is so widespread that one knowledgeable
source compared gun lovers' fascination with the Springfield Rifle
to auto buffs' for the Model T.
