M1 Garand - CMP SA Service Grade

[leftyk82]

Just received this morning.  Oct 1943 production Springfield Armory.  Muzzle reading of 1+.  Throat Reading of 2+.  Wood is certainly not new, but I'm not an expert to know if it's original.

 

A few pictures below

Beautiful piece of history.

Nice!

[Spots]

I love it Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[DMark]

Outstanding!  Appears to have the original finish.

 

I already see a couple of WWII parts.  Rear Sight, Trigger Guard, Gas Cylinder Lock.

 

Looks to have a very nice HRA stock, note the "large porch" area behind the receiver.  If the proof mark is a without serifs, then its a HRA.

 

Just a fine example of a post-war rebuild.  With those barrel readings it should be a great shooter!

 

You Did Good!  :up:

Dang - nice lock bar sights! You scored!

[CQB Elite]

Very nice! Be sure to let us know how she shoots.

Finally, got a chance to shoot the Garand today at Stones River. Best group with Greek ammo.

Is that a 100 yard group?

Is that a 100 yard group?

It is, yes. Forgot to mention that. Shooting off a front rest. Center mass hold. Edited January 5, 2014 by leftyk82

A Garand is one rifle I've yet to own. Yours looks like a nice one, and quite accurate to boot. Congratulations. :up:

CMP only has original military M1 Garand’s. So it has to be an original military stock.
They have some that they put new stocks on, but they are clearly marked and sold as new stocks.
