8 Mar 2025 Garand Picture of the Day

[Mark in Rochester]

Garand rifle. Sourced from the Library of Congress.

Note the Bolt , front sight screw seal and unfinished gas cylinder lock.



Based on front sight width and flat of rear Gas Cylinder Ring and flush nut sight = S.A.

any guesses as to the serial number range?
