30-03 converted to 30-06

I have a SA173767 rifle converted to 30-06 I believe, fitted with a no pin stock, concurrent with the period of conversion. It has what I believe is a period sling. (BTW, how would one describe such a rifle? rebuilt? remanufactured? Surely not a mixmaster?)
It is in very nice shape, the only defect is a nicely repaired stock crack (a reason for 2 pins?).
What should I look for to get further information on the possible history of this rifle. I have had my ankle replaced and will have some time available for a bit.

Cheers

Warren, please post some pictures of your rifle.

Hi Fred:

Promise not to laugh, but I couldn,t find the key to my display cabinet when I went to look at it. (really good security) I hadn't been in there since I had to quit going to the range because my ankle gave out.
But I will find it or get it picked. The other rifles I would also like to photograph for the record.

Cheers
Warren

The rifle would be called a rebuild. Sounds like an honest rifle, the kind we all like to shoot. Yes, get skippy and drill that lock out...so we can see... Then lots of clear close pics.

Hi Jim:

Don't know about shooting it considering the controversy about the low numbered Springfields. But I bought it because it encapsulated so much history:
Probably paid too much for it, but I would say it is pretty rare. Probably more so than my Mark I.

Cheers

Now I see, a 1XX XXX series, I thought it was higher for some reason. Yes, a 30-03 rebuild would be very early numbered at that. Still we'll be looking forward to pics.

While technically a "rebuild", such rifles you see today in this condition in most cases remained that after their overhaul in 1906-1910 and are considered "original". Obviously, not near the value had the rifle remained in 30-03, but still a very valuable piece of merchandise!!

Pictures, please!!

Thanks for the interest guys: The first thing I had better do is to confirm I copied the number on the rifle into my data base correctly!! Then see what kind of a photographer I am.

Not your fault. I read it quickly and incorrectly... Love to see it when time comes.

OK I am struggling with it though.
