Hi All,
I'm looking to nab a 1903 Springfield, ideally from the 40s, but one that is in firing condition. Can I fire off the shelf ammo? Or should I stick to surplus greek ammo/ammo loaded for the M1 Garand as that is not higher pressure (realizing off the shelf ammo will affect my zero)?
Can anyone give some thoughts on these listings?

Is the unfired 1903 worth that much? Is there any way to be sure it was never issued? Seems like an awful lot for a 1903.
I really appreciate any input - thanks!
