I see "SRS check" thrown around, but don't know what SRS stands for, sorry. This may be what I'm asking for?

I have an '03 Springfield barreled action S/N 1447443 w/barrel stamped SA 4-32 and if the flaming bomb was there, it has long since worn off. There is the alignment notch for the '03-A1 rear folding leaf sight. It has a NS bolt and is D&T for Lyman 48.

Questions:
What configuration was rifle built and/or sold as?
Is barrel date correct for that S/N? If not, what would be?
Is NS bolt correct for S/N?

Only wondering because of NS bolt and mounting of Lyman 48. There is neither a star gauge on muzzle nor the underside of the barrel and it obviously fitted for military spec at some point. Don't know if barrel is original to the action. S/N is not electro-penciled on the underside of the bolt. Any information is helpful and not sure how much is available. Thanks!

Here is the information from Springfield Research Service records for the closest numbers:

1447440 RCVR 10/01/34 DCM RIFLE SALES 1922-42
1447450 RCVR 09/25/34 DCM RIFLE SALES 1922-42

It would be hard to speculate about your rifle. Could have been sold as a receiver as the two above.

Okay, thanks. Just curious mostly. Plus, now I know what SRS means ;-)
