1903年6月19日,美军将斯普林菲尔德(或译“春田”)兵工厂开发的7．62mm口径步枪定为制式步枪,命名为斯普林菲尔德M1903步枪,用于取代克拉格-乔根森步枪。该枪选用优质材料并经精密加工,具有良好的射击精度和动作可靠性。1917年,为了配用佩德森装置,约6万支M1903步枪接受改造,从而出现了改进型M1903Mk1步枪。此后陆续出现了一系列变型枪。 On June 19, 1903, the U.S. military designated the 7.62-mm caliber rifle developed by the Springfield Arsenal as a standard-style rifle and named the Springfield M1903 rifle to replace the Krag-Jorgensen rifle . The gun selected high-quality materials and precision machining, with good shooting accuracy and reliability. In 1917, about 60,000 M1903 rifles were retrofitted for the Pedersen installation, resulting in the improved M1903Mk1 rifle. Since then there has been a series of variant guns.
