The S&T M1903A3 Spring Powered with Real Wood is one of the most attractive historical weapons, and is an exceptionally well constructed Airsoft replica of the M1903A3 bolt action rifle, featuring real wooden furniture and steel-alloy components.

First entering the stage in 1903, the Springfield M1903 rifle saw service with the US Army in the trenches of the First World War, the European and Pacific theatres of WW2 with the USMC and Army. It still remains in service in a limited capacity, even to this day.

The M1903A3 Springfield was designed in 1942, and features a new M1 Garand-inspired rear ironsight.

For those Airsoft players, reenactors and collectors who are captivated by details and authenticity, this replica is essential for 1942-1944 era USMC and US Army impressions and loadouts – and is also perfectly acceptable for WW1 era impressions.

S&T have accurately recreated the look and feel of the M1903A3’s bolt, trigger and receiver, even featuring a fully functioning replica of the M1903’s safety mechanism. Constructed using steel and alloy and finished to excellent standards, the bolt feels solid, robust, and smooth to operate, offering a very satisfying shooting experience.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
