SA parts on a HRA Garand?

[slamfire1]

Al in MN: Good info. Any way to distinguish a Greek Rtn. from U.S issue.?

I will attempt to reply.

The answer is no. Absolute no. Perhaps if you knew the end of the US inventory and when the CMP began shipping Greeks, and you had the CMP paperwork. Maybe you could figure the inventory change.

The o3's and A3's, they were refinished. The Garands that I have seen, and it is has been hundreds, are absolutely the way they left US inventory.

That includes the arsenal rebuilds. No funny Greek stampings, no Italian parts (Dannish), no nothing.

And in my opinion, these are American rifles just like the rifles that came direct from US inventory.

I do not recall any US inventory rifles having aftermarket wood.

The Greek rifles had more excellent condition late production SA's and HRA's than what came out of US inventory.
