M1903 and A3 rifles were used in every combat theatre during the war, even when M1's became plentiful there were not sufficient numbers to totally replace the 03. D day saw many a GI land with his trusty 03 or 03A3 in hand and the rifles served throughout the war, of course the 03A4 went on to serve in Korea also. If you wish to preserve the history of your incredible find leave the cosmoline on it as it adds to the mistique but if you wish to shoot it, clean as previously suggested and enjoy a war time piece of history to the fullest. List it on GB with the cosmo and it will easily bring a grand...clean and shoot it and you will enjoy many times that in fun and nostalga.
