Hey everyone, i just got my springfield 1903 back from the gun smith (had to get rear sight base pressed on barrel) and fully assembled it for the first time. Feels great. I have a few questions now.
I believe i have a parts gun, and i wanted to check to see if the barrel and receiver were from the same year or not. The barrel has a 11 - 28 on it (meaning 1928 right?) and the receiver is 1300xxx. Do these numbers match up? Also, are there any other numbers on the gun that are of significance?
Also, the rear sight windage screw is very gritty and feels like the gears need a good greasing, is this possible, and if so how?
Thanks everyone.
