The Crazy Story Behind the First Springfield Rifle ever Produced
This video explores the fascinating history of the first Springfield M1903 rifle ever produced, Serial Number One. It details its initial configuration as a rod bayonet version in .30-03 and its subsequent reconfiguration to a non-rod bayonet with a .30-06 barrel, which was common for low serial number rifles of that era. The rifle's unique journey included being issued to a soldier deploying to the Western Front in WWI, only to be confiscated by higher command due to its significant serial number. The soldier was then issued an M1917 Enfield in exchange. The video also mentions sponsors like Ventura Munitions, BLACKHAWK!, and Blue Alpha Gear, and promotes the TFBTV Patreon page for exclusive content and giveaways.
