    SRS Check On Early RIA M1903

    I have RIA M1903 with serial number 100438, barrel date of 11/08. Rifle appears to be in original condition. Any SRS info would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry can't help on the number quest but it's an early serial number rifle made in the first months of 03 production where the 03's were built as original off the line rifles with parts that match the barrel to the receiver numbers and not built up of early stored mixed pre made dated parts.
    Your rifle's serial number and bbl date match the off the line date of your rifle which indicate that at least the bbl and receiver came off the line together. How about some photos.
    I have serial number #87241, bbl date, 6-07 number, Ray

    Rear Sight Ladder

    Due to the curved "7"s on the RSL, that is an SA part, not RIA. RIA RSLs have straight "7"s. Nice RIA one bolt stock...
