Hey whats up? This is my first time posting. A few weeks ago i shot one of my buddies M1icon Garands and after shooting it I relized that i wanted to have one. I just bought one and am very pleased with it. It looks great and I hope it shoots as good as it looks. I started to look on the internet to know alittle more about my new rifle and came across many people saying that their rifle was rewelded and now im kinda worried since i never heard of such a thing. My question is how can you tell? I seen alot of people saying that the receivers numbers have to match but since i dont have any reference books about the rifles I have no clue if mine match or not. Is their any good websites or books that I should buy to put my mind at ease?

Mine is a Springfield Armory serial number 17275xx and the other marking that I see are B6B with a triangle next to it and under those letters is the number D28291 28 and at the far top right hand corner the letter k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was also wondering about what year it was manufactured i think i got it to 1943 but not sure. I just want to put my mind at ease so I can really enjoy my new rifle. Their addicting as I already want another one.

Tonto
