I just Googled high number 1 million Rock Island 1903 and this came up a 1.2 million serial range.

They're out there but extremely rare. I've personnally never seem one.

Rock Island made a bunch of receivers they never built into rifles. Most had the serial numbers on them, but some didn't. These RIA spare recievers were found in the mid 20's and sent to SA for completion. So if you find a high number RIA with say a SA 26/27 barrel it probably is original. But the number on that RIA was actually put on by SA. It was a receiver they finished and put that serial on it.
