My hat's off to you, BD! You're wise to consult this forum; I'd do the same, were I contemplating an M1903 purchase!
I'd like to recommend you find Lt. Col. Brophy's "The Springfield 1903 Rifles," to further your knowledge. You'll likely have to search a while to find a copy, as the book is no longer in print.

Actually , copies of Brophy's book are fairly easy to find, and considerably below the $85.00 retail price. Try this link for a list of online bookstores that carry his book:
