Try M1903.com if noone here knows for sure.

I don't know exactly when the 1903A1 configuration with C stock came out, but about that time. If for shooting, that's the way I would go anyhow. An S stock is always right.
The scant stock was a WW II compromise and would not be suitable unless you were setting it up as a wartime reissue.

There are 4 basic stocks for the M1903 style rifles.
These can be broken down further for a total of 16 known variations. Your 1930 Springfield would have left the armory wearing a S stock with grasping grooves and two recoil bolts. Stamped D A L in a box and the circle P proof mark. Possible a small S in the cutoff notch. Springfield used this style from 1921 (possibly earlier) to 1939.
Most all M1903's have been through at least 1 clean and repair so it could have any stock today.
