New member as a 1903 A1 followed me home from gun show

Anything on the trigger guard at all?

No Kurt, not in the open anyway. When I had the floor plate off the magazine there is a small s stamped in front of the trigger guard so I just took that to mean it was a springfield mfg stamp. Thank you for the reply and, Have a good evening.

Besides the bolt, I would not change the rifle.

I was wondering about that as I saw in my reading somewhere a change to different metal and bolt angle to distinguish it. I will go back to find the year and full reason why. And yes I will find a different bolt to be safe. Thank you Mike.

I would like it just as it is because I could shoot it without worrying about collector value.

Thank you Jim, I was kind of hoping to hit it lucky with this 1 but still very happy as I like its looks, wanted a 1903 and wont worry about the collector value as I shoot it. But will still take extra good care of it as the collector rifles have history and I see this 1 as have a little history from 3 or 4 rifles. If only each part could talk (lol). Just playing around here with a shell I am about 98% sure it will be a correct head space. Will check it at the gun shop tomorrow.
