Took it to Gunsmith #1 who looked it over from several angles and said it looked good. Looks being deceiving I took it to Gunsmith #2 who drooled over it and told me to shoot it but with Managed-Recoil, 125gr rounds as precautionary because of the low serial number issue.

I shot it using the recommended ammo. The little darlin' shoots great at 100yds. I had problems with figuring out the caliper site because of my high stupid exponent. Would like to find a Springfield club some place close and compare notes with especially patient people. Also need to find a good manual. Next gunshow close by is on New Years Day in Fredericksburg, VA.
