My Legion shoot them with live rounds about twice a year. It helps clean them out from the corrosive blanks we use. We clean them often. Great rifle and still can hit a target at 100 yards after all these years.
The 1903-a3 did not have a heat treat issue. It was the 1903’s that had the issue. It was the low number Springfields. I think under 800,000 serial numbers.

Kinton Guns in Farmington. Might be pricey. You should sell your guns at Hessney auction. You would get the best price. There is a 13% fee but some gun shops take that on consignment.
Just reloaded 44 Mag with it. All went bang. 240 grain bullet with 22 grains of IMR 4227 and Magnum primers. Seems to be fine but I took all the precautions mentioned here.
Can will be worth something too. If there is ever anything wrong with a powder, I fertilize the garden with it.
