Early/ Late SA 1903 Salvageable? Input Needed.

[Calif-Steve]

I have 802,xxx and hope so, as well. The problem is much more confusing then we know. Serial number 800,000 was likely not produced after 799,999. Certainly produced around the same time but not automatically after. They had piles of receivers going through many production cuts intermixed with each other. Anything was possible before the receiver was seralized. So there is really no way of knowing 800,055's history. Neither do I know 802,xxx's history. Rock Island did it very differently and after WWI ended shut down all '03 rifle production. RIA also made nickel steel recievers and bolts during WWI. So they had a very different approach to the low number/high number issue.
