Just picked up a 1903 mark 1 and was wondering about a SRS check. Serial # 1118042 the barrel is date 10/19. And was also wondering if it was set up for a Peterson device because it has a hole in the left side of the reciever. It's about 1/2 by 1 1/2. Will try to get picture up but not very computer literate!
All M1903 Mark Is were designed to use the Pedersen Device, a pistol caliber action that would replace the bolt. The rifle could also be used as a regular full-powered rifle. Take a look on this link for an interesting history of the Mark I by Jouster's Dick Culver:
Pipsqueak Pistol That Never Was
Good read. Thanks
