1903 Springfield

I saw a WWII rebuilt 1903 Springfield today with a hang tag price of $1,350.00. The shop owner said it was from 1942 which was the barrel fate. I pointed out that the serial number of 900,000 meant the rifle was made about 1919 and was rebarreled with an 11-42 barrel. Ironically, I bought a WWII rebuilt Rock Island 1903 for $500.00 last year. So let the buyer beware. All the best...
