Like the M1903, it too borrowed from the Mauser, and indeed early prototypes were converted M1903s. It was for this reason that America turned to a British design not the Lee-Enfield, but a new design originating from the same factory. But the need to equip up to four million soldiers could not be met from existing stocks.
The latter, based on the German Mauser, was powerful, accurate, and robust.
soldiers in the First World War carried British Enfield rifles than their own M1903 Springfield design.
The entry of the United States into the war was one of the major contributions to Allied victory.
