This video from The Gun Vault features Ashley Hlebinsky, Curator at the Cody Firearms Museum, presenting the Springfield 1903 rifle. The rifle's lineage is traced back to the 1893 Mauser, and its significant military service from WWI through the early Vietnam War is highlighted.

This video showcases an experimental muzzle cover modification on an 1893 Mauser rifle, chambered in 7mm Mauser (7x57mm). The device, integrated with the trigger mechanism, automatically lifts to reveal the front sight and muzzle when the trigger is pulled and retracts when released. While innovative for keeping the muzzle clean, the modification was not mass-produced, likely due to potential issues with premature firing.
