You need one more to stack arms, seriously you have a fine pair of M1's.

Thanks Sarge1998.
Can always use this SA M1A Super Match 7.62 Nato to stack arms

No "stacking swivel" on that M1 A, you will need to tie them together. Nice rifles all, but I really like the 1944. ( D Day, June 6, 1944)

You're perfectly right, Joe W. the '44 M1 Garand is a real "piece of History" ...

Here I am with my third M1 Garand.

It is an Italian M1 Garand cal. .308" Win model T1 which came out from Terni Armory Arsenal.
There are few pieces of the T1 model : it has the original barrel 30-06S replaced with a barrel chambered in .308" Win and it is of the same exact lenght so it can share all the spare parts including stock, handguards and oprod with the 30-06S model.
After the T1 model, Italian Terni Arsenal made the T2 model which uses original 30-06S barrels which have been cut of about 12 mm. to adapt them to different caliber.
The T2 model needs a different stock, handguards and a shorter oprod.

Here is the list of the drawing numbers and heat numbers.
Since the rifle came out from an arsenal, it is very difficult to find all exact parts togheter.

Serial number : 3,320,xxx --> end December '44
Receiver : A18 D28291 35 "FAET 64"
Barrel : FAT 7.62 m/m 1964 --> Same age
Bolt : D28287-12SA RE5B --> from March '42 to July '42 --> Earlier
Stock : FAT 64 --> Same age
OpRod : D35382 SA --> Spare part --> ?
Trigger case : D28290-WRA --> I must look for a SA one and replace the Winchester one.
Hammer : C46008-7 SA --> Same age

Here some photos

No M1 Rifle yet ?
There are so many M1 Rifles on sale in Germany in very good conditions !
There is where I picked up mine of '54.

Bizio, your op rod on this last rifle isn't a replacement part, it's an early op rod that was modified. Thus no revision number.

I had searched in a booklet and I misunderstood that.
Thank you, browningautorifle.
