III s. magazine rifle, model OF 1913
Forty thousand of these rifles have already
been completed but it has been decided
not to issue any of them to the troops un-

tions now armed with the comparatively
ancient Springfield rife.
The most noticeable difference between
the present and the new arm Is that the
barrel of the latter is entirely covered with
wood. This innovation was the result of
suggestions made to the ordnance officers
by enlisted men. In the campaigns in

while the initial velocity and penetrating
power are both greater. The new gun is
also several inches shorter than the pres
