The link below covers the low number Springfield topic very well. Note that the U.S. Army continued to use low number Springfields, but issued rifles with high number receivers to new recruits. The U.S. Marines continued to use low number Springfields during WWII. We gave thousands of low number Springfields to the Free French in WWII. There were about one million low number Springfields made and some are still in use today. Hope this provides some clarity. All the best...
