high serial number Springfield M1 Rifle

[RCS]

Sometime in the late 90's, an old friend brought this rifle over to show me, it was for sale too. Barrel was dated 1956 and DOD stock. I had Mac check the serial number a few years later, he could not find any data and said it was not a NM.

I passed on buying it. As I did not have a camera, I used lampblack over the logo and tape to lift off the markings kind of like finger prints. There are higher serial numbers but it was still a 6.1Attachment 89602
