The Springfield 1903 was the standard weapon of the US servicemen in WW1.
However, since it was only produced at Springfield Arsenal ( Rock Island didn't come on line until 1917) only the US Marine Brigade used them. All other US troops were armed with the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, Model of 1917", manufactured by Winchester, Remington, and Eddystone.
