Does anyone know what the last and final Springfield 1903 NM SERIAL number happens to be?
I know of a rifle that appears to be a NM rifle. Serial number 1522838. It has a late 1938 bbl, polished rails, electropenciled bolt, star gauge barrel, and all the correct markings.
I know Springfield stopped making rifles only 10,000 or so past this serial number.
This must be one of the last NM rifles ever made (if indeed it is a NM rifle).
