Wait for the CMP reply, we'll go from there.
No record cmp back to 1996. I think this rifle would be late 1950's era. I can email pictures.
CMP records are complete back to 1996, they do have DCM records from earlier years but are not complete. The year of the rifle has nothing to do with the CMP search.
Yes lost incomplete records . The only thing it that was enlightening was it's not a recent return like the Greek ,Dane or later returns. The DoD ARMY records are not out there to. I have a nice $2500 rifle for sure. N.M. we're sold at at Camp Perry ,match teams etc. One cannot say it's one way or the other.
or it may be a basement build. Need more detailed pics than you had on other forum. Also need pictures of the bedding
Bedding looks like team bedding. I have two two stocks one bedded and one post-war DOS no bedding. Both can be used and both correct. More so the non bedded correct for type one. My Garand guru says looks like type 1 not type 11. Says unmarked sites right and no other N.M parts but barrel. Hand fitted and for accuracy to look like stock rifle. Says it looks like pre 1960 rifle. For $950 it was a steal. Offered me twice that. Gonna keep it. Thanks all. Over and out.
Type I's were not bedded
So, you're convinced in your own mind but refuse to share pics so some of these guys can give you info? Why bother in the first place?Quote:
