The number of low number Springfield failures was very low. Some may be traced to attempting to shoot enemy cartridges in a 1903. Other failures may have been caused by front line conditions. When did you last hear of a low number 1903 coming apart? The fact is thousands of low number Springfields were made into sporter rifles and are still being used. A gun shop I visit had two new arrivals sitting on the used gun racks. These rifles appear to be doing just fine with military ammo, factory ammo or reasonable reloads. Based on your feelings regarding this topic, it is probably best that you do not shoot a low number Springfield. All the best...
