A few old crappy garands

[Live4therut]

Hi all thought a share a couple newer acquisitions. First off is a 43 SA very nice shape, has Danish anchor and serial on front of the rear sight, but has original stock and all 43 dated parts including barrel, & lockbar rear sight. this rifle is like new cond,


Next up is a 54 HRA that was original but had a shot out barrel so, restored it but with 308 criterion barrel I've been looking for a nice HRA barrel but there hard to find up here so it'll have to do for now, all other parts are original to the rifle.



Here's a 42 SA with original barrel and 42-43 dated parts. Restored and it sports a Boyd's stock.



This one is a 41 SA that was assembled into a M1D between the beginning of 1952 & fall of 52. Then lent to the danes. Haven't had a chance to look up all the lot numbers to date parts, and there all SA



Drawing number on top of barrel under the rear handguard indicating before fall of 52 build, notice the cross cannons

52 dated barrel

Parts I haven't looked up yet




And full kit

The M-1 D looks like someone used it for a crutch at one time. Hehhehehe

Super nice. Super nice.

Republic heat lot 22...which is basicly the heat lot for your serial number. More or less. Some records vary.

Beautiful pieces you have there! Never really liked M1D's but I think yours just converted me
