I've posted this elsewhere so if have seen it then I apologize but I'm excited about my newest addition.
I've been looking for another Garand but ended up buying M1A after work yesterday - looks gently used. I didn't do as much research on these before I bought as I would have liked but this one was sitting in the local gunshop and it called out to me. Yes, I'm weak and I probably paid too much but there's worse things in life.
The box has a tag that has September 1997 and SPGMA9202 on it. The rest is as follows:
Springfield Armory Receiver ser. #105xxx
Barrel markings - Springfield Inc, Genesco IL and NM308
Bolt markings - 7790186 TRW ZB
Trigger housing - 7267030 TRW
Hammer - 5546008-HR-N
Op rod 7267064 HRA
Rear sight right windage - WCE
Rear sight elevation - WCE M
Rear sight aperature - 520 and NM
Front sight - M062 0n right side
Top handguard - DT19 on underside
Stock - walnut but no markings?
That's all that I can see without taking it down further to give it a good cleaning - something to do this weekend. What do you all think - got it for $1800 with a 30-round, 20-round and 5 round mag - 5 round has "Checkmate on it - 20 round has a large K with a smaller T and M. I don't see any markings on the 30-rounder? Also came with an ARMS M21/14 Swan scope mount. TE is 1.5 - I can't measures MW with the flash guard on there so tight.
