I dont know Ive never seen a NM harvester before.

no there arent any marks the finish is almost like a blued finish not so much a parkerizd like usual on all 3 parts. I did check the front sight screw and it had the same marks as yours.

The rifle has alot of dings and scratches. but the bore looks good and it shoots well. Are the butt plate and oprod catch safe to say its hot IHC are is there any other parts or things that stick...

oprod catch has no markings. https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2018/09/b01d5817af1453a0daf1763965a5ef26-1.jpg

wow That is beautiful! I have a very busy week I will try to do a full detailed strip down of my rifle and post the pics! thank you for this!

I ordered 2 of scott duffs books one on wwii garands and one on the post war. I seen the canifield book but that one was pricey is it worth the money?

so basically no one can tell for sure if the rifle I have is correct or not? It just seems that manufacturing issues and lack of record keeping makes the task almost impossible.

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.

Thank you! I wish to see that book out soon!

I just found the book on Amazon!!

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...

Any recommendations for a good reference book to check International Harvester M1 Garand for...
