probably not. improved heat treating of receivers started at #800,000
rifle should be checked by a gunsmith
ok, you own a firearm, think.... the data shows very very few shattered results, and all the data is from 1917. in 1987 or so some idiot shot his 1903 full of grease. i own a 425000 ish 1803 and the gun is to spec. this whole issues is dumb. they are NOT blowing up day to day. Have fun own a 1903 and enjoyit!
I agree, early 1903's are NOT blowing up daily. But those un-heated receivers can
blow up with high pressure shells. Ask the question at: 1903.com
See what the 1903 people have to say. Warnings can prevent disaster, for those who heed them..................

Thats a good question,of which only a qualified gunsmith can answer.I can say that the new heat treatment on the Springfield model of 1903 began at serial number 800,000.So yours has that in its favor.Your serial number indicates that it was made in the year 1918.So it could have seen service in World War I.Have it checked by a qualified gunsmith and then you can sleep easy as to if it is safe to shoot.

Considering that the Springfield 03 was used as a sniper rifle through WW2, Korea, and Viet Nam, it is safe to say that the Army figured out how to mount a scope. Watch the movie "Saving Private Ryan" for confirmation. Then visit the Brownell's web sie and see what they have for sale.
