5.8 mil Springfield..Greek?

Here are some pics of the Garand that seems to be Greek to me.

The X on the bottom of the pistol grip and the four rack numbers on the right side of the butt stock give at least the stock itself away as a Greek return. Probably the rest as well. I got a 5.8 SA about four years ago that was Greek return with the same stock markings (also a very small P in front of the rear sling swivel). The chamber was in the white and it was mostly correct. A wonderful rifle in my book!

Whatever. She's pretty.

Thanks for the feedback. It seems as if there are more of these to be had in the Greek Air Force returns. This one needs a range test before long.

I wouldn't be paying more than the $595.00 plus shipping that CMP would charge for a similar service grade rifle. CMP will shortly be selling the nice returns they recently got from Greece. I purchased a 5.8 mil SA at Anniston that was like new and all correct except for a HRA stock that made it a service grade. Believe me, they have alot more in like condition.

You guys are exactly right. Garands are made to have all parts but the Bolt-Receiver/Barrel(Headspacing) able to interchange. The Greeks knew this. As was said, parts are parts, The rifles function perfectly. All that matters to the Military-mind.

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.
