    A large number of low numbered M1903s, when turned in for overhaul, had their receivers scrapped. However (as Calif-Steve said), the other parts were reused. I have seen 1930s serial numbered rifles with 1911, 1907, and even 1905 barrels. "Parts is parts" was Springfield Armory's motto during this period.
