I have a Springfield 1903, serial number 810,xxx which was produced about 1918. It was rebuilt during WWII where a new barrel (Sedgley 44) and a "scant" stock were installed after which it was apparently not heavily used. I bought it second-hand from a fellow who got it through the CMP. Excellent rifle. First range trip I fired 100 rds. of mixed commercial loads through it. Average of all groups fired was under 2 inches. The last five shots fired were 150 gr. Win. Silver-Tips... which went into a nice 1 inch group. Very cool. It is a very fine rifle.
