The Pedersen Rifle, officially known in final form as the T1E3 rifle and was a United States semi-automatic rifle designed by John Pedersen, made in small numbers for trials by the United States Army during the 1920s as part of a program to standardize and adopt a replacement for the M1903 Springfield bolt action rifle.
