Hi guys,
I just got this Springfield 1903 sporter (not cut nor drilled) . Its a decent nice rifle, but I'm totally new to Springfield and i'm wondering about a few things. I know about the low number receiver and all. This rifle has a high number (1 400 000 something) so it should be safe. But the barrel show a 1911 date...!? I was afraid it might be a fake number on the receiver, but its very well centered, so it look legit. There's also some markings on the underface of the barrel (CL2). I have included pictures, so maybe some of you guys could help me. Anyone know about a Springfield that got a barrel older than its receiver like mine? thanks in advance.
