Editing Pedersen device (section)

==Production==
Production of the device started in 1918, along with the modified rifle that December, after the war ended. The contract was cancelled on 1 March 1919 after production of 65,000 devices with 1.6 million magazines, 65 million cartridges and 101,775 modified Springfield rifles.<ref name="guns.com"/> Each device was to be issued with a belt including a stamped, sheet-steel scabbard for safely carrying the device when not in use, a canvas pouch to hold the M1903 rifle bolt when not in use, and canvas pouches holding five magazines. The device with two pouches of loaded magazines added 14 pounds to the infantryman's standard load.<ref name=nra/>

Remington subcontracted magazine production to Mount Vernon Silversmiths, and the carrying scabbards were manufactured by [[Gorham Manufacturing Company]]. Canvas pouches for magazines and for the rifle bolt were manufactured at [[Rock Island Arsenal]].<ref name=nra/>

Ammunition was packaged in 40-round boxes sufficient to fill one magazine. Five boxes were packed in a carton corresponding to the five-magazine pouches, and three cartons were carried in a light canvas bandolier holding 600 cartridges. Five bandoliers were packed in a wooden crate. Ammunition produced by Remington is [[headstamp]]ed "RA" (or "RAH" for the [[Hoboken, New Jersey]] plant) with the years (19-) "18", "19", and "20".<ref name=nra/>
