I have an opportunity to acquire a 1903 Springfield, Marked Springfield with serial number 18,4xx. Would this low of a serial numbered gun be safe as a shooter, or were all the guns made at Springfield under 750,000 subject to poor heat treating?
The gun is all original, and looks to be in excellent condition except for a very rusted butt plate, and a little water damage marks on the first couple inches of the buttstock. I was told it was inadvertently left sitting in 2" of water somehow,
I'll try to get some pics us ASAP, but for now, any idea of it's worth and shootability.
