I'm talking with a seller on another forum about buying a sporterized Rock Island made 03A3 rifle.
S/N is 328xxx
This falls inside of the 800,000 "danger zone" as I remember it. Can someone tell me FOR CERTAIN whether or not I should be concerned?
I don't feel like having to load 45 ksi ammo for the 30-06
EDIT:
I just found the answer. 800,000 is for Springfield Armory Receivers, 285,506 is number for RIA receivers. This one should be GTG, and it's made during 1919 which is one of the few years which they've never managed to burst a 1903 receiver even when subjected to 125ksi loads.
