He became president in 1901, and the Springfield was born in 1903.

It is not an innovative weapon at all except for the cartridge it shoots, but is probably the most customized American gun ever produced.

It has a five round capacity. Only a slightly curved bolt, and cocks on opening. It is not a fast return fire weapon compared to a Lee Enfield. It incorporated stamped parts earlier than many military weapons, and a parkerized finish. The Springfield is still beloved by millions because of it's good looks, dependability, and balance.
