Shipment Modern
Springfield Rifles
For the Maine Guard

A shipment of 40 Springfield rifles,
22-caliber and 1922 model, arrived
yesterday at the Office of Major Roy
e. Decker, Federal property and dis
bursting officer, and will be distribut-
ed to the Maine National Guard for
use in indoor target work.
The distribution will be made as
follows: Two rifles to each rifle COM
pany of the 103rd Infantry; one rifle
to each battery headquarters COM
pany, and two rifles to the service
company, 1OSrd Infantry; one rifle to
the Brigade Headquarters Company,
S6th Infantry Brigade; and one rifle
to each firing battery of the 24Oth
Coast Artillery. Major Decker states
that these new rifles will not be given
out until the old rifles have been
turned in by the various organiza-
tons.
The new rifles will not be assigned
to individuals, but will remain as
company property. The regulations
provide for the distribution of about
100 Of these rifles to the Maine
Guard, but on account of the limited
number manufactured this shipment
of 40 will be all that the Guard can
secure at the present time. The
Maine Guard has secured the first
lot from the Springfield, Mass, ar
Senal.
These new rifles represent a won
derful Improvement over the old
type of Springfield and Winchester
rifles that the organization of the
Maine Guard have used for indoor
target practice. The old type of
Springfield rifle required the use of
a cartridge holder and fired only sin
gle shot. the same as the type of
Winchester rifles used. The modern
type of Springfield rifles uses longer
cartridges in a magazine and the
cartridges are fed direct to the fir
ing chamber. no cartridge holder be-
ing necessary. The rifles are equip
ped with polished bolts which pre-
vent all sticking in bolt manipulation
during rapid fire.
