RIA 1903 Springfield Build

[EddieB]

As I recollect from prior discussions the hybrid rifles run from around 370,000 through the end of RIA's production with SA barrel dates in the 28-30 range. The later the serial number the more likely chance that it was finished at SA although there are original RIA finished rifles in that range as well. One of mine is in the 400000 range and has a 28 dated barrel and a SADAL S stock. The other is in the late 377,000 range with a '29 dated SA barrel and I cannot make out the stock markings. To give credit where due most of my information on these was gleaned from posts by an d questions to John Beard.

Thanks for the reply TWH,

So you have any documentation or links that I could look at about the hybrid rifles? I just keep finding conflicting information on the last RIA 1903s, my rifle is after that 370000 , being 3775xx. The most important thing to me is to do the rifle justice by putting it back into a proper stock. THEN I am going to enjoy shooting it.
