Sporterized M1903 Springfield

In the years between the two world wars ,and continuing for many years after World War II, the M1903 was a popular platform for custom bolt-action sporter rifles. Gunsmiths both amateur and professional worked with the M1903. Reginald F. Sedgely and Griffin & Howe (in business since 1923) are two of the most well known makers not to mention the thousands of self-taught hobbyists working in their basements and garages over the past eighty years. It is very common in older movies to see M1903 Sporters in use as well as other Mauser rifles not to mention Lee-Enfields, Arisakas ect. I have added photos of several Sporter M1903's with different configurations.

M1903A4 Springfield Sporter Rifles have appeared in the following movies, television shows and video games used by the following actors:
