I paid a great price for my 1903, NOTHING! I inherited my '03 from my uncle. It is stamped 10-42 on the barrel. I have had a good bit of help from Rick the Librarian and Bear (Bear was until recently a neighbor of mine) identifying the correctness of my rifle while on MilSurpluscollectors Forum (I followed them here at the suggestion from Bear) I was able to sit down and visit with Bear so that we could compare '03's (he has some great rifles), we also got to sit around and swap war stories for a couple hours.

Here are a few Pictures of my Rifle. If the sun ever comes out today I will get better Picutres.
