As midshipmen in the Navy/Marine unit at Auburn University in the early 1970s, tennexplorer and I used 1903 and 1903A3 Springfields as drill rifles. They were missing the firing pins and the front sights.

When we Marine types did field problems, we borrowed M14s from the Army ROTC unit. The one I used had the full auto switch.
