Low Number 1903 Springfield rifles
 

There is a lot of hype and misinformation regarding low number 1903 Springfield rifles made at Springfield Armory or Rock island Arsenal . At the range today, I saw a 1903 Springfield serial number range 653,000 in military condition that according to the peen marks on the receiver had been rebarreled four times. Hence we have a low number 1903 Springfield rifle that probably has had thousands and thousands of rounds put through it without a problem.

I have several sporterized 1903 low number Springfield rifles that I shoot on a regular basis. One is so accurate that it is impressive with whatever ammo i run through it. I have no reservations shooting these rifles. The decision whether to use or shoot a low number Springfield is a personal preference thing. Whatever you decide is the correct response. All the best...

Thanks for the reminder......in this part of the country you rarely see older
Springfields in any form....original or customs. Mater of fact, 98's are in the same boat! Growing up, I used to see all versions of them.......
