I am new here and was looking for some answers concerning a 1903 Springfield serial # 1780. It is completely original from WW II. The person who kept this gun was a sharp shooter for his ship. It has been rebuilt during the war because the barrel is of a later date. It is clean and I know it can't be fired. When I got it, it had been wrapped up in an old oil cloth. It has been cleaned up and the bore is clean. There is no rust anywhere and the stock is very clean. I have it mounted on my wall as of now. I don't own any other guns, and have really little experience with them,but am looking to get one for the house in the future. Is this 1903 a gun to send to a museum? Or is it just another wall hanger like most low number rifles? Thanks for your thoughts.
