Garand "National Match" edition

[gulliver62]

It's hard to say what is meant by National Match edition. As previously stated there were NM rifles produced by and for the military.
SA has also produced commercial Garands for some time. They probably did an NM version (similar to what they do with the M1A) but it is not currently on their web site.
We would need pics and more information to know what you really have.

I have been communicating by PM with "Blackcat" and he has told me the rifles serial number is 326xxxx. I don't know a whole lot about S.A. INC. Do you know if they used sup. U.S. receivers for there builds of there match M1 rifle ?? I think there standard M1 rifle was built on a cast receiver and had there trade mark name "Springfield Armory INC." on the heal and serial numbers were over 7 mil. Not sure about the match rifles.
Blackcat has not been able to get any pictures yet but so far, it doesn'etsound like a SA built N.M. rifle. No markings on barrel.
