That meant it was proofed a second time, which it obviously passed! So here is a low numbered gun that passed a 70,000 PSI proof test not once, but TWICE!Īnd pictured below is a REAL low numbered gun.
It was re-built by the San Antonio Arsenal during WW 2 and then put into war reserve storage, which meant it should only be issued under dire circumstances, because it was a low numbered gun. I don't shoot my low numbered 03, but the gun has an interesting history.
The pros and cons of shooting a low numbered 03 with reduced pressure levels have been discussed many times on the forum. You must remember we fought WW 1 with low numbered 03s and very few of them gave any trouble. If it is in as described condition, it is a screaming bargain.
I believe the OP said he didn't want it for a shooter.
