World War One and earlier model 1903 Springfield and Rock Island Rifles. From 1920 through World War Two, many thousands of 1903s were rebuilt in government arsenals. These rifles have been through that process, however these do have their original barrels. None are in their original configuration. While these rifles are in good condition, one can expect wear commensurate with a rifle that is over 100 years old. Metal will show finish wear or refinishing and may possibly exhibit minimal rust or pitting on metal surfaces. Stocks and handguards can have dents, bruises, and missing minor chips. Could have minor cracks in nonessential areas.
Due to the inconsistent heat treatments used when these rifles were originally manufactured, we are selling these rifles as collectors items and do not recommend firing live ammunition.

How to Purchase this Item
Purchasing a firearm online is secure, easy, and often the most cost-effective way to buy firearms. However, there are Federal, State, and Local laws that must be obeyed:
1. Age Requirements: 18 years of age or older to purchase any complete rifle. 21 or older for Receivers, Lowers, and Barreled Actions.
2. Shipping Restrictions: Federal Firearms Laws prevent us from shipping firearms directly to you if you do not possess an FFL. Instead, we ship any firearm/assembly/receiver purchased on our site to a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) Dealer in your area.
Here’s how it works:
1. Make your purchase online, ensuring you are following all state and local laws.
2. Your order will remain on hold until we receive a copy of a Federal Firearms License. We have not charged your credit card at this point.
3. Find an FFL dealer in your area that will accept the transfer of your firearm. Most dealers, which include sporting goods stores, pawn shops, gunsmiths, and gun stores, are willing to do this for a small fee.
4. Have your dealer email us a copy of their valid and signed FFL form. Emailed copies can be sent to info@dupagetrading.com. Please make sure your dealer includes your Order Number, as well as your name with the FFL. California orders must also include a CFLC number (your dealer will know this).
5. Once your order is ready to ship, we will ship it to your dealer, and you will receive a confirmation of shipment via email.
6. Once your dealer receives your firearm, they will contact you and you can complete all the necessary paperwork and pick up your firearm.
