Could someone please help with info on these guns, age, value and on the Springer is it safe to shoot?
1) Springfield 1903 .30-06. Looks like an aftermarket front sight and the gun is blued and has a cut down (sporter) stock. I recieved the gun as a wedding present from my wife (in 1977) and it was her grandfathers hunting rifle for many years. The ser# is 568xx & has Rock Island on it. It is in good mechanical condition and has had some touch up and stock refinishing work.
2) Remington 700 # 204xxx in 7mm mag. The barrel has a mark that looks kind of like a weird mis stamped "4" (but I don't think it is) then AY then a "6" in a circle.
Any help is appreciated.

P.S. Why are serial numbers truncated?
