Project Description
This is a 1/2 scale 1903 Springfield U.S. WWI & WWII bolt action battle rifle as made by Springfield Armory. Made by Miniart in Moscow, Russia in the 1990’s. 21 1/2″ long overall with a 11 1/2″ barrel of .151 caliber. Most of the parts of this miniature are machined steel, but some of the small parts are stamped steel just like on the full size version. Straight grained walnut one piece stock and handguard an oil finish. The front receiver ring marked “U.S., SPRINGFIELD ARMORY, MODEL 1903, 08” in four lines. The bolt release marked “OFF” & “ON”. The rear sight has the proper graduated distance markings. The safety marked “READY” & “SAFE”. The buttplate with the hinged trapdoor for a cleaning rod, no cleaning rod included. Fully functional including the safety. Near mint condition showing only the faintest traces of handling, I’d call it 99%. The extractor and some rear sight parts have turned a plum purple color. Price: $2,000.00.
