The standard rifle issued to military personnel was the M-14.

It may be in reference to that, but it could also be referring to a rifle range score, marksman (as opposed to sharpshooter or expert) with a score of 146.

What does the military qualification MKM03Rifle41 on a World War 2 honorable discharge refer to?

The soldier qualified as a Marksman with the Model 1903 Springfield Rifle, under the standards prescribed in 1941. The Springfield was the standard US rifle from 1903 until the M1 Garand was adopted just before WWII. The Springfield was a five shot, internal box magazine, bolt action rifle, a fine weapon, and the official US rifle of WWI (though may troops in WWI were armed with an "American Enfield"). The M1 was adopted after years of development just before WWII, but was not always available to troops in training, who learned to shoot with the older model. The term "thirty ought six" refers to the fact that the .30 caliber cartridge for the 1903 Springfield was redesigned in 1906. This was the cartridge fired by US troops in WWI, WWII and Korea, used in the 1903 Springfield, the M1, and the M14, and also in the .30 caliber machine guns.

What is the purpose of M-16 qualification?

Prior to 1967/68, the M16 was the US Army's "jungle rifle" and used specifically in South Vietnam. There was no qualification back then, the M14 was the standard US rifle. Prior to men shipping out for Vietnam up thru 1970, they "FAM Fired" (Familiarization firing) of the M16 jungle rifle. They QUALIFIED on the M14 service rifle. After Vietnam, the US Military (Army & Marines) adapted the M16 jungle rifle as the new standard SERVICE RIFLE in about 1970/73; replacing the M14 rifle. US Military personnel have to qualify on any "Standard" weapon that the military uses. It's part of their JOB to know how to safely use it. Qualification means exactly what it says; Qualified to use the weapon. It a person cannot qualify, then they cannot qualify to be in the military...because then, they are NOT qualified to do their job.


Can you wear an old expert rifle badge when you requalified as a marksman?

You've answered your own question! Military personnel are REQUIRED to qualify periodically in weapons. Your newest qualification level replaces the older qualification badge for the same weapon.
