Other Information: "During World War I, the United States secretly developed the Pedersen device attachment for the M1903 Springfield rifle that allowed it to fire a .30 caliber (7.62 mm) pistol type cartridge in semi-automatic mode.This attachment was developed to allow an infantryman to convert "his rifle to a form of submachine gun or automatic rifle" in approximately 15 seconds." This rifle has the cutout where the magazine would have attached.
Disclaimer: ******(This does NOT give the rifle the ability to be full auto. )*******
Production of the Pedersen device and modified M1903 rifles started during 1918.
