I just got a 1903 Springfield S/N 132XXXX that was sporterized. The barrel is service length with the original front sight and rear sight base still installed. The barrel, dated 7-29, looks like it was turned down with a hacksaw, though. Is this typical for the finish on a barrel then? I have a 1903A3 and a 1903A3 barrel that is unfired, still in cosmolineicon, and they both have at least a smooth finish.
