Yes, Canfield's books are worth the money too... You need several to be able to cross reference.

oprod catch has no markings.

op rod catch looks refinished as pin is not in the white. It was probably replaced at some point. Hard to tell what manufacture the butt plate is as there is to much wear to the metal
Nice Garand

The rifle has alot of dings and scratches. but the bore looks good and it shoots well. Are the butt plate and oprod catch safe to say its hot IHC are is there any other parts or things that stick out? Thank you for all your help!!

Op rod cacth woukld not be correct, to much ear on the butt plate to tell what manufacture it is. Hard to see in the pics but looks as though the follower rod is not correct, cant tell about the follower arm. Are there hash marks on the side like the one I have pictured?

[ajconti]

no there arent any marks the finish is almost like a blued finish not so much a parkerizd like usual on all 3 parts. I did check the front sight screw and it had the same marks as yours.

The last show I was at a guy claimed to have an IHC national match and had what appeared to be a copy of the org. paper for it. He didn't have the weapon with him and I told him they didn't make one and to go away. He wanted an awful lot for it but It appears I was very wrong about it being real.

I expected someone to jump in and tell me I was right or wrong.

I dont know Ive never seen a NM harvester before.
