I bought a real nice 1903 Springfield at a gun show last weekend. Really clean in great shape. Serial number 843956, finger grove stock with S under the switch with a J.F.C. inspector stamp. The barrel is dated 3-18 with an A under the date. It also has a five point star at 3 o'clock on the end of the barrel. The dealer said it was a star gauged barrel. I told him it was not the correct shaped star and it should be at 6 o'clock. Any idea where it came from? If somebody was trying to fake a star gauge, you would think they would use the correct shaped star and put in the right place. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
