looking for a good IHC m1 garand reference book
-
Nice looking rifle, I'd love to know exactly where it travelled to. Scott Duff speaks of them and illustrates in his book "The M1 Garand: POST WORLD WAR II". You might get what you want there.

Thank you! it has some dings and dents in the wood and the finish on the metal is worn in alot of places but I think its mostly correct if not all correct IHC info is kinda hard to find yet understand like the number code in the stock.
-
The one in Scott's book also has a four digit number but different from yours. The ones he displays are 4445628, 4575534, 4584311, 4584312, 4655712 and one close to yours...5104106.

By the text in the forum it may be a pipedream. One of the books we wait for forever...thread goes back 6 years.

IHC
The IHC book is a long sad story that is still on-going. The stock number 1674 is a dating code indicating the 167th day of 1954. That's not the rifle date, just the wood.

The barrel date is 5/54 I cant seem to be able to pin point when the reciever was made like you can with the other makers.
