Hello all, first post here. Recently picked up a sporterized springfield 1903 mark 1. It is sn 1,144,xxx so it is a high number gun. Based on the sn, it was built in 1919 and the barrel is marked sa 11-19 so I am assuming it is the original barrel as well. Since it is a high number, it should have the double heated receiver. It is tapped for dovetail and has a scope mounted to it. The dovetail is blocking the mark 1 wording, but other characteristics indicate it is a mark 1. I have the name of the gunsmith that built the gun, but he is long gone now, but looks like it was done well. One of the things I am confused about is the bolt. The bolt itself is marked "mark II". I am not able to find any info on the bolt anywhere, even doing a search on it. Anyways, figured I would post and see if anybody know anything about the bolt or has any thoughts on the gun. Thanks.
