I got my 3rd M1 March 1945 springfield
-
Nice rifle. The bayonet is Korean war era. A WW2 Bayo would have the hole that fits over the muzzle instead of the pin that fits in the gas plug.
-
Nice rifle, yes, the M1 or 1905E5 bayonet would be better. Also a 1907 sling or at least a flat slider sling...
-
The last I knew the CMP still had a selection of Bayos for sale. both the original 10" and also some cutdowns I have one of each. The original 10" and both a spear point and a drop point cutdown and 2 17 inchers.
-
Yes, the bayonet is a korean era, it belongs to my 1954 HRA,
What is cool is that a WWII rifle that has its origional barrel with low readings.
-
That's rare, you're right.

Oprod
Your Oprod is wrong. Should be a flat sided -9 SA with NO cut on the unit.
I beleive the stock should still be a NFR cartouche. All items can be easily corrected.
Good luck

It seems the bolt was also stuck in a time warp!:eek:
Looks very nice though, you may gift it to me without any remorse.:rolleyes:;)

Rebuild
Looks like a rebuild to me. The heel appears annealed and the SHM is a common post-war rebuild characteristic. That would explain the "wrong" parts, wouldn't it?
