three digit gas trap on Julia Auction

[RCS]

fjruple, there may be additional Springfield Research serial number data on the M1 rifles as I do not have the complete set.

Your s/n 7898 rifle, is it still a gas trap or gas port conversion ?

RCS--
When I acquired the rifle it came from the Blue Sky guns that was from South Korean lot that came into the US. The rifle was rebuilt in the late 1940's as part of the major rebuild program after WWII from the barrel date on the barrel. So I imagine it had been rebuilt at least once before from a gas trap to a gas port before WWII. The receiver has the 7th round weld repair. The rifle is currently wearing a .308 Winchester Douglas Premium air-guaged Match barrel. The rifle is a tack driver.
