Need 1903 Springfield info
Just added a new rifle to my collection. Older gentleman neighbor sold it to me but he could not provide any info about rifle other than it was bought for only a few $ many years ago. Barrel is stamped 5-32 under flaming bomb. All other Springfields I have seen have had a straight grip stock, but this one has a slight pistol grip. All numbers match and the gun seems to be in excelent shape except for some finish wear on bolt. Someone told me some old Springfields were unsafe to shoot, is this one? This is my first U.S. military rifle and have very limited experiance with them so i decided this is a good place to start. Any info on exactly what this is and a possible value would be great,(not for sale, have become very good at buying rifles but havent learned how to sell yet!). Thanks for your time, I will try to figure out how to take better pictures soon.
