Editing M1903 Springfield (section)

===Korean War===

The M1903A4 was slowly phased out during the Korean war by the Army, but saw extensive use in the Marine Corps in the form of the M1941 Sniper rifle.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}} This new rifle was simply equipped with a very long and powerful Unertl 7.8x (as compared to the  M73B1 2.5X telescopic sights issued with the army's M1903A4) variant type scope. It was used in situations when the range to the target simply exceeded that of the Marines' M1C and M1D sniper rifles, which were effective to about {{convert|500|yd}}. In some rare cases, kills from up to {{convert|1000|yd}} were reported by Marines using the M1941 sniper rifles.  Marine Corps armorers continued to rebuild some M1903 sniper rifles as late as the early stages of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}
