    Rifle Manufacturing Date & Serial Number

    2aimtrue,

    The serial number of your rifle falls somewhere between S/N 1331357 and S/N 1359464, exclusive, and was manufactured at Springfield Armory in late 1929 or 1930. The barrel was also manufactured at Springfield Armory in 1930 and is the original barrel. The receiver is made from nickel steel and should be safe for shooting if in good condition.

    Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing!

    J.B.
