Yes, that is "above the cutoff", which is @ 800,000.
thank you sir, i new it was close.
Is there a proof mark on the 03's that show that they were re- heat treated?
No, as was mentioned in another thread, the "re-heat treat" receivers were only done to a relatively few receivers as a test. (100-500). To my knowledge, there was no distinguishing mark.
