CMP has finally proccessed my order for a Springfield greek service grade M1, the serial # is 14476** , how do I tell when the rifle was manufactured and is there any other info you can gather from the serial#? I can't wait to get my hands on this rifle.

Looks like it was made Feb or March of 1943
