yes but what does the "star gauge mark" mean?????????????????
It means that that bbl was pulled from the production line and measured on a fixture called an air gauge . This measured the inside specs of that bbl. If the bbl fell into the required specs all along it's length , then the chances of that bbl being an exc. shooter was vastly improved over one that did not pass . BBls that passed were marked to show such. BBls that failed were returned to the untested pile to go on service rifles.

You should do a Lot of reading about 1903 Springfields before you buy one. Start right away. It'll really help you in deciding what type of 03 you'll be happy with. Read, read read.
