I'd guess it's a Danish issue rifle. Possibly purchased from the CMP in years past. Check the small parts as there may be Italian PB, and BMB marked parts mixed in. It could also have an excellent Danish replacement barrel installed. Nice rifle.

If it a Danish M1, it should have a label in the stock channel like this.

Naw, no label in the stock channel, but is it really clean and tight, no marring or scratches like some of my older M1's.Quote:

I agree with Brian if it's the full serial number then it's Danish and not all had the tags as shown.

He meant the barrel stamp, the one that shows it was made in '49. Not a VAR marking.

Really good video on the M1 rear sight
