This original milled butt plate was manufactured for use on the U.S. Springfield M1903 and M1903A3 rifles and originates from U.S. military spare-parts inventory (New Old Stock, NOS).
Constructed from machined steel, the butt plate retains the classic trapdoor design associated with the Springfield M1903 series. Original packaging markings reference U.S. Ordnance drawing and inventory systems, identifying it as a military replacement component.
The piece retains its original blued finish and remains preserved under a heavy coating of military cosmoline. Long-term storage has produced the distinctive deep blue-green appearance commonly found on well-preserved U.S. military surplus components.
Based on its packaging and condition, this example represents a long-term stored military spare part rather than a service-used component. The original finish, cosmoline preservation, and military inventory provenance make it a noteworthy reference piece for collectors and researchers interested in Springfield rifles, U.S. military ordnance production, and historical military logistics.
Note: The component remains coated in original cosmoline preservative grease from storage. The condition shown is consistent with long-term military inventory preservation.
Price is for one (1) individual butt plate. Individual pieces may exhibit minor variations in finish, cosmoline coverage, storage marks, and packaging residue due to long-term military storage.
