Your springfield model 1903 was made by springfield amory in 1918.The serial number you provided does not correspond with the other 2 makers of springfield rifles,rock island and remington.
The first Springfield Trapdoor rifles, built right after the civil war and often converted from the older Springfield rifled muskets, were .50 caliber, but the later versions were .45
The receivers for the new Springfield Armory M1 rifles are engraved, Made in Austrialia. I believe they are investment castings. The barrels are SA barrels made by Springfield Armory,Genesco,IL. The rest of the metal is WW2 and post WW2 from original production runs by SA,Springfield Ma, Winchester, H&R, and other USGI manufacturers. I dont know where the M1A receivers are made.
All military rifles that were made for the U.S. were made at Springfield Amory,which is located at Springfield,Mass.It became a official U.S. arsenal in the year 1872.The first firearms made there were in 1795.This arsenal should not be confused with the Company Springfield Arsenal which is a totally different entity which is located in Geneseo,Illinois.
If you are asking when the first guns were made they were first made in China during the 13th century for use as a signal. Springfield rifles were among the the first breech loading rifles in1865.
Springfield Armory still produces M14 clone rifles. They are in semi (full auto is inacurate anyways) and are called M1A1's.
garands made by Springfield only go to #6020771
a old ww2 bolt action sniper/combat rifle Springfield made many types of bolt action rifles over a century or so
should be 30-06 Springfield. not sure the year made. there were many of these rifles made.
S&W did not make the rifles. Howa made them and S&W branded them.
This was a subcontractor that made 1903 Springfield 30-06 rifles for the U.S. goverment. They were located in the state of Illinois.
