Very high serial number Garand

**GUTS** · 12-22-2011 12:50 PM

A friend of mine brought this over today and asked me if I would grease it up for him. I have seen it stated that 6099905 is the highest one recorded, this one is right up there.

Here are the barrel markings.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

high number range on SA is in the 6.1

Sometime in the early 1990's, I took apart 6,100,256 it had a '56 dated barrel and was not a NM. The highest serial numbered M1 icon

was pictured in the GCA icon

Journal a few years ago

The "A4" inscribed on the receiver leg indicates a Anniston rebuild, does it not ? That would explain the late barrel.

The highest serial number would be 6100499, a NM M1 icon

Rifle owned by Roger Miner. The story of this rifle can be found in the Summer of 2008 GCA icon

Journal.

This is indeed a re-built Garand icon

. A late rifle, for sure. But it has been through a re-build.

When was the last year SA made barrels? I've got one with a 64 barrel on it too.

The latest M1 icon

Nice find on the 6M rifle. I hope to add one of that range to my collection one day.
