July 1940 M1 Rifle

My favorite pre war rifle is from July 1940, the keystone spring, SA SPG (faint cartouche) with no trap stock and two equal sized holes and barrel dated S-A 7-40 (without chrome at the gas port) are highlights. Some restoration was done or as they say "corrected" to the time period.Attachment 88433Attachment 88434Attachment 88435Attachment 88436Attachment 88437Attachment 88438Attachment 88439

Nice looking rifle, always liked the older ones.

And a Happy Birthday to you RCS!!!!

See, that would be a good chance to supplant this thread by showing us. RCS always cultivates conversation...that's why he does this. Bait the readers...

I will get some photos together and post them.

That would be great...
