This video details the rare M1903 Springfield 'Stripped for Air Service' variant, a pilot's survival rifle developed by Springfield Armory in early 1918. Modifications included a shortened stock, a 25-round fixed magazine, and a simplified rear sight, designed for pilots who might crash-land. Despite 910 being made, they were never officially used and most were scrapped or converted after WWI, making surviving examples extremely rare. The video highlights a specific rifle from Bruce Canfield's collection and references additional information from a C&Rsenal video.
