I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures. I have 5869326 with a 8-55 barrel . The wood looks almost new with correct DAS and proof marks. I bought this M1 from CMP in 2002.

My guess is that it's beech wood.

I'm changing my initial perception on serial number 3445. Looking through my GCA Journal from Volume 23,Issue 4 ,Fall 2009 I came across an article by Bob Seijas on gas trap 1630 which he owns. There...

The three looks somewhat suspicious to say the least.

Great looking Garand with Italian lineage. All good.

Welcome from Crook County. Nice looking M1,love the wood.

I took my IHC out to check the description addressed above. Mine was a private purchase at an estate sale. It has the football shape on the bayonet lug, concentric circle and straight slots on the...

There is a IHC for sale on the CMP auction that ends tomorrow.There are great pictures of the IHC. One picture when enlarged shows the bottom of the gas cylinder. It shows a taper at the front of...

I've always figured from the forums a SA Gas Cylinder had either a punch mark and/or a letter stamped on the bayonet lug or a letter stamped on the barrel ring. Most of my WW2 Garands have these...

That M1 one looks familiar.

I bought a 1905 RIA dated 1906 along with a 1910 RIA scabbard. The blade is in very good condition but from the handguard up there is rust of varying degrees. I cleaned it with CLP and a soft cloth...

Great picture Sean. Thanks. Feel free to post more pictures.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your M1 purchase. You have now been infected with the dreaded disease called Garanditis. A word of advice,buy a safe now to house your future purchases of...

I see many posters here that used to be on CSP before it went down. I know that there was a lot of sniping and name calling and the rest of the things some egotistical people do behind the keyboard...

Yes it would be correct according to Scott Duffs little blue book.

Many of the elevation pinions and windage knobs were made by subcontractors. Those that I have mostly seen are NHC and DRC that are correct for early postwar SA Garands.

Which makers do you need?

I received from CMP a SA 3,741,112, May 45 Garand with a 12-43 SA barrel that's in the white. Was it a rebuild or SA using up their barrel supply with the war in Europe being over or first in last...

In some of the books I have read about WW2 Europe it was not uncommon for either side to use battlefield pickups from the opposing side. This included tanks,jeeps and trucks.

Weatherhead a subcontractor for SA postwar.

The partial outline of the circle is there in the picture.

Coneten, I've got you 5.8' s brother,5869326. It came from CMP as a Service Grade around six years ago. It is totally correct as received from the information available.
