I have been reading some posts and you all really know the 1903. I picked up a Springfield 1903 that from the serial number puts it as a 1920 build. Serial # 1181449 so it should be a safe shooter. Belonged to me fathers uncle and it was given to him by a friend his in the army. My question is the 3 holes on the receiver, there are two just in front of the bolt handle and one just to the front of the chamber. I guess it is just below the serial number. Attached are photos, marks that I know are DAL on the right side, R just behind the trigger guard, a S on the end of the barrel, with the circle with fire above it with 1-20 below it. The sling is reproduction. the bayonet came with the package, US stamped on one side and 1902 on the other just in front of the hilt. I would like to put a scope on it and need your advice. I have seen the no drill S&K mount any feedback? Was thinking that I wanted to keep it intact.

so there you are, let the advicing begin....

Cheers
