Inherited an M1 Garand and it might be an original 1941?

[Joe W]

Hello,
I inherited an M1 Garand and from the various serial numbers, SN 279901 trigger, hammer, bolt, op rod, check out as 1941-43 parts, receiver number D28291-9 SA with barrel number D35448-7 Rep-16 which seems to mean it comes from around 41-43. Am I in the ball park?

You should be able to see the date of barrel manufacture on the side of the barrel. It should be close to S-A-6-41 upside down.
Does the rear sight Windage knob look like this ? It should if original to a 1941 built rifle.
