This U.S. Springfield Model 1903 bolt-action rifle in .30-06 Springfield, serial number 815483, was manufactured by Springfield Armory in 1918. Its 24-inch round barrel is marked S.A., flaming bomb, 12-41, showing the rifle was rebarreled and returned to service in December 1941 as the United States entered the Second World War. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling, the action is smooth, mechanically sound and functions correctly, and the stock shows light handling marks consistent with military use and storage. Overall condition is very good.

A rifle that likely served across both world wars is a collector's piece first, and that is how most Pennsylvania buyers will treat it. It remains a manually operated centerfire rifle in .30-06, which is legal for deer and bear statewide during the firearms seasons, but a 1941-barreled Springfield in this condition deserves careful handling over hard field use.
