    unknown 1903 receiver

    It is not worth the money or the risk shooting something unknown such as this SF marked receiver.
    There are too many nice 1903's around without taking a chance

    early 1903 rifles were serial numbered in large serifP1010051_0043.jpgP1010052_0044.jpg numbers

      Totally agree. What’s an early M1903 with a 4 digit serial number worth?

        early four digit 1903's

        Really not worth alot, mine came from the CMP auction and were built-up using period parts.

        I do enjoy shooting them at 25 feet with 32ACP or 32 S&W

        s/n 3670 has a SA 6-16 barrel, early bolt H I and modified rod bayonet stock with single bolt

        s/n 4918 has a SA 2-18 barrel and SA double bolt stock with POD D and BA-WL rebuild stamps

        photo shows target at around 20 or 25 ft, fun to shoot indoorsP1010016.jpg

          The Santa Fe serial numbers started somewhere around the 5 million range (past where U.S. military 03-A3 rifle serial numbers ended.)
