It finally arrived at my FFL and I got to take a look at it. The metal and bluing is almost pristine and the stock, while having a few dents and bruises, is also in great shape.

It has "US" electro-penciled above the serial number on the left side of the receiver, which matches recent sales of these rifle from the CMPicon. I may contact the CMP and request a record search to confirm this.

Last month I also glommed a Winchester 52B and a Remington 513T with a Fecker scope on it.
Awesome! I shot a Winchester 52D during my first 2 years on the Punahou Rifle Team in Honolulu, Hawaii in the very early 1980's. During my junior and senior years, I was able to upgrade to one of two Anschutz 1413's we had supplied to the team by our coach. The 52D's were Army JROTC rifles, and they were respected, accurate workhorses. Here's a photo of me shooting one, circa 1982, during informal JROTC practice. (Thus no shooting jacket or sling and glove) It could even be the same one you purchased. Is yours for sale?
