OP Run With The Fox Sidelock Joined: May 2008 Posts: 8,158 Likes: 114 Michigan	Cabela's in Richfield has a 1903 at $1500 with the warning- Not Safe To Shoot- apparently some early 1903's had faulty receivers that might crack, due to improper heat treatment. Was this just at Springfield, or also at Rock Island and Eddystone Arsenals? What steps were taken to prevent failures with the 1903's-- was this solved before the cheaper 1903-A3 came along?
