Welcome to the neighborhood...and yes, a nice low number. Looks like a good honest rifle... Good catch.
Got to love a threefer.
Very nice.
What's in the other two boxes ?? :dunno:
2 more Garands. Both springfields with a 1,77x,xxx and a 3,3xx,xxx numbers. Look about like the other one. However one did have some small pieces of wood with white tape on them saying it was cleaned on certian dates along with U.S.M.C. shoved in the cleaning rod holes. This one has a Rock Island refurb mark on the stock and one of the others had a R.R.I stanped on it.Quote:

my favourite rifle, I would change the rear sight and trigger guard to ww2 spec, what gas plug style does it have
ni idea, What do I need to look for? What is diffrent on the guard and Rear sight?
hi
heres a pic of an M1 with ww2 spec rear sight and trigger guard, doesn't show the slotted front on the gas plug though

A piecemeal refurbishment of a serviceable rifle is at best a losing prospect. If it shoots and is as CMP sent it, I'd be tempted to leave it alone. It likely has no original era parts with it and you can't make it original again. Correcting it can cost thousands, specially with a rifle that had the knurled and serrated sight knobs, a flush nut sight is among the most expensive parts to buy. The locking bar sight would also be incorrect for this rifle so why change from one incorrect sight to another...
Im going to leave it alone. Shoots goodand Im happy with itQuote:
