Any experiences anyone can share with me here would be most apperciated. I know the scout mount is an option, but it is my 2nd choice.

A few weeks ago i shot one of my buddies M1 Garands and after shooting it I relized that i wanted to have one. I just bought one and am very pleased with it. It looks great and I hope it shoots as good as it looks. I started to look on the internet to know alittle more about my new rifle and came across many people saying that their rifle was rewelded and now im kinda worried since i never heard of such a thing. My question is how can you tell? I seen alot of people saying that the receivers numbers have to match but since i dont have any reference books about the rifles I have no clue if mine match or not. Is their any good websites or books that I should buy to put my mind at ease?

Mine is a Springfield Armory serial number 17275xx and the other marking that I see are B6B with a triangle next to it and under those letters is the number D28291 28 and at the far top right hand corner the letter k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was also wondering about what year it was manufactured i think i got it to 1943 but not sure. I just want to put my mind at ease so I can really enjoy my new rifle. Their addicting as I already want another one.

There were also about 6 5.8s. I thought they were supposed to have original finish, but they look re-parked to me, and the finish on this rifle matches a CMP Special I have. which is advertised as being re-parked. CMP stock has some kind of marking in the channel. The bore and chamber are bright, MW is UNDER 0, TE is 2. There is a ring(only shows up with flash pic.) around the barrel near the muzzle, and the lock is plumb colored. I'm looking forward to shooting this rifle! ]]> M1 Garand/M14/M1A Rifles Charlie59 http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=16929 Another attaboy for the GarandGuy http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=16909&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:21:57 GMT Tony Giacobbe just helped me out on 2 rifles that I didn't even buy from him- and wouldn't take my money.

She has an HRA barrel and receiver, but all SA internals.

Does anyone know the correct number for the bolt on a 5,494,XXX? I'm supposing that the correct part number would have a good chance of headspacing correctly...right?

Just a thought. With so many SA parts I may never get around to it anyway.
