I don't believe the stock has ever been sanded. I will not be home to after the holiday but have these photos that I have on my phone that are not very much in focus but look like there are some...

I recently picked up this rifle from a friend whose dad brought it home from WWII. His dad passed away a few years ago and he had to fly out to CA to clean out the house and sell it and believes he...

Thank you very much - now I will be on the lookout for a M1 serial numbered between 6581550 - 6583020. Thanks again for your assistance and help! Regards

Thanks for the heads up. While I would never buy such an expensive item without consultation it’s nice to know the history as I have purchased small items from the said seller.

Thank you for the great info, could you provide the serial window for 23 April? I have a WRA Garand that was serial numbered on 23 Apr and while doubtful it would be interesting to find one serialed...

Thank you very much that is exactly what I was looking for. This is 670, 9 May. Regards

I’m trying to figure out the approximate build date for a WRA carbine, 6.600xxx. I know the WRA polish room dates are available for Garand receivers and wondering if the records were also found for...

Interesting, I’ll have to look through some stuff I have to see if I can find a MA inspector at WRA

I knew a collector who had one of the rifles from the WRA ref library. I believe most of the rifles were included in the book of WRA ref rifles. That said I have misplaced the serial number of the...

Doesn’t appear to be.

Does it still have the sight seal. The picture is dark in that area, unless I’m missing something. Regards

132008132009132010132011132012Hello, went to a small local auction yesterday to pick up some fishing gear and they brought out a few guns that were not listed and I bought this one. I’m not very...

Very nice old rifle. Hard to beat that old dark Winchester wood, it’s beautiful.

Roger that....troll LOL wasn't Bill the one who found the BK oiler contract from WWII. Seems that I recall at one time most people considered them a post war item.
He surely will be missed!

Thank you for the info. Regards

My BIL has it too. Little easier to identify as it’s a type 97 Nagoya.

Thanks for the comments. He wiped the stock off it has not been stripped if you see it in person. His uncle was on a supply ship. He was in the Navy. He brought this rifle and a Japanese rifle home....

Sad to note his passing. As a Garand and rifle grenade collector our paths crossed many times and I was fortunate to have had many conversations over the years before his health started to...

My BIL’s uncle brought this rifle back from WWII and he asked me what it is. I collect Garands so don’t know much about Enfields. The bolt matches the receiver but it appears to have gone thru an...

Thanks Bob, regards, Curt

Thanks Paul, regards Curt

That would be good information to know. This rifle looks mostly original to me, except maybe the gas cylinder. I wouldn’t think an original rifle this early would be annealed but this rifle doesn’t...

I would like to see the top front face of the gas cylinder lock and a better pictures of the gas cylinder. Maybe I have missed it but the gas cylinder from the angles that I see lead me to believe...

Mark, can you tell me what the tell tale signs are? Thank you for the reply. Regards

Tom,
Do you think WRA chromed the face or do you think that was done later at an ordnance depot to salvage the receiver? While it was a practice to do that on some parts you don’t see many...
