Hey Joe, good to see you around again. If you still are looking for a response to your question to me, let me know. Looks like Gene took care of it. With regard to the "over 150,000" number quoted from JTC's letter, in looking at the log there is a 10- 12 K gap in the log from about 18,500 to 30,000. There is no other gap like this in the log. Those numbers would have fallen into 1904 and 1905.I suppose it could be that no one has reported, sold on GB and an auction house any 1903's in this range. If anyone has a 1903 in the 20 thousands, I'd like to hear about it. Likewise anyone having a Model 1909 boy's rifle above 112,500A, please let me know. These had a different buttstock, forend, sights and barrel but were otherwise the same mechanism as the 1903. JTC thought that was the last 1909 he had a record of.
