I too welcome any and all info pertaining to the '03 Springfield, no matter the forum it's published in. It would be germane to our discussions about pre-war Springfield sporters in that at least some of those WWI USMC sniper rifles went into the surplus pot at some point in their lives and may well turn up in the guise of elegant sporting rifles. This info could go a long way toward explaining an odd rifle with extra holes for scope mounts, or a sporter still wearing an old A5 scope in non-Unertl mounts.
