I'm the current owner of 909009. It's a virtually unworn rifle with all of its original components. I'll post some photos.

Finis. Rock Island list to follow if anybody is interested. If you see one of your '03's on the list add to the description or make corrections. I tried to credit people who might have featured a rifle on this site. I hope this adventure has some value to at least a few of you die hard collectors.

Oh! I see my Mark I is on the top of the list. Rifle 1064694. I'll post photo's of it too if anyone is interested.

I have a number of Springfield M1903s not listed in your data base I could list - a few of mine are in your data base.

Chuck,
Are you still collecting data to add to your list? I have a couple Springfields which you do not have on your list yet, and I would be happy to share.
