Six Digit Springfield

[shamrocks]

Just thought I would share my new toy I brought home from the gunshow today. While browsing tables I saw an older gentleman with a couple garands out for sale stuck in between modern stuff. Well, after seeing the six digit serial and the good condition I brought it home. From the serial number, it dates to Aug. 1941 and has been re- barrelled with a SA 4-53 barrel that has sharp grooves and gages just a fraction under 2. Predominantly SA parts from the limited exam I gave it so far at home but certainly gone through rebuild.......serial 33243x, bolt D28287-2 SA and REC4 beneath that, safety SA, trigger housing 6528290 - SA, receiver leg RE 3B over D28291-12 SA, hammer IHC C5546006, gas cylinder lock screw PO. Only marks on the sanded stock is a faint circled P on the grip and slight remains of one side of a box on the side.
