made 1909.................however, recommended rifle be checked out by a gunsmith before shooting. early 1903 did not have a STRONG receiver...............
Please have a competent gunsmith familiar with 1903 style rifles examine your Rock Island. There was a problem with the early rifles from this arsenal (bad heat treatment of the receiver) and they are considered dangerous to shoot- the receiver is brittle. I do not have access to the serial number list right now, and it does not apply to ALL Rock Islands- but please have yours inspected before shooting it.
