PM is private message and that's found by clicking on the name of the person you want to message. Six choices come up, one is private message. Click on that and a message form comes up like an Email. Fill it out and send it. Maybe I'll just send you an Email and we can get on with it...

Barrel is D35448-7 Rep-16. I will try and get some pictures on here as soon as I figure out how to do so. Thanks for the help.

Nope, it is a S.A. - S.H.M. What is a PM? If that is personal email it is
boomersusan@msn.com. I will dissemble and take some pictures. Finally got the nerve, and after watching several videos, gave it a try. Had a little problem with the op rod and I at first put in the spring upside down, but finally figured out what I had done wrong and got it back together.
The -1 op rod is from a late 1940 rifle, the other parts are 1942 and 1943. The barrel, if it is -7 revision, would be 8-41. The date should be on the front of the chamber area of the barrel. behind the op rod. At some point the rear sights were changed from the short pinion & flush nut to locking bar type. Another possible WW2 upgrade. Sounds like a nice rifle that could have been used in WW2 and had some parts replaced at that time. I would keep it just as it is as it is a piece of history.

After a thorough inspection and some help obtaining a few good photos this could be an interesting article for the GCA
Journal.

Looks like a very nice rifle. Likely rebuilt in 1945 based on the Steven H. McGregor cartouched stock. Do we have any info on the operating rod and barrel?

There is only one serial number on an M1 rifle. It's on the heel beneath the maker's name. All of the other numbers are part/drawing numbers.
