If it is a completely correct 6 mil

What exactly does 6 mil refer to? LOL, I think that was the original question I just didn't form it correctly.

The serial number.

The serial number.

Well crap! I should have figured that one out. So what's the big deal about having a 6 mil serial numbered rifle? what makes it better than say a 300,000 serial number?

Ya got me! I’d rather have a WWII era one. Some people like the “newer” ones though. Just a matter of personal taste, I guess.

Last Garands manufactured and only around 22,000 made.

So in the 6 million serial number range, there were 22,000 made?

[Orlando]

As I remember yes

If you really want something kind of different with a high serial number, check out the 6 million H&R rifles, only 500 manufactured in the 6 million range

They are among the last assembled by SA and the quality is usually high. Many became National Match guns. The receiver is different from WWII rifles, the heel is wider and flatter.
