In a article I have read about low serial # 1903 Springfields I know that I read something about these weapons being turned in and the actions and bolts were heat treated again to make them usable. If this is true is there a stamped mark anywhere on the gun to show that this was done? I have one that has RIA just behind the front sight with a 1-19 under that and the serial # is 631000. I know that RIA is Rock Island Arms but not sure what the 1-19 means.
