Why U.S. Govt Still Making 03/A3's in 1944?

[Hammer]

By 1944 with millions of M1 Garands and millions of M1 Carbines having been made and still in massive Wartime Production, why were Remington 03A3s still be produced so late in the War? Who were they intended to be issued to?

Here's my only 03/A3. Its a sweet firing warrior that kicks like a Mule every time I shoot it :-)
