SA Garand with sn on stock

[Leggett71]

Walked into a local pawn shop yesterday and on the rack was a nice garand.

Did not get any photos but looking for info on stock stamped SA sn 2,340,xxx that matched the receiver. receiver was light gray in color. Stock had a cut-out for a Danish brass ID disc in the grip heel, no P inspection stamp, PB rear sight, VAR barrel, SA bolt & RIA in a box marked stock with a new Turner sling. No other visible markings.

Any comments will be appreciated, wondering if there is anything special about this garand or if it is just typical of a Danish return.
Have it on hold for a couple of days while I try to find more about it.
Searched the forum on Danish returns but did not see any posts on matching stock sn's.

Thanks in advance.

It's most likely a Danish return that was originally sold via the CMP. The serial number on the stock is indicative of Danish service as are the Beretta parts as they got M1 Rifles and spare parts from Italy as well. The Danish VAR barrels are also noted for outstanding quality. Reads like a very nice rifle.

Thanks Brian, That was what I suspected but the full SA matching sn on the stock had me wondering if it might be something unique. I will post some photos when I pick it up.
I already have one Danish Garand with a VAR barrel & you are correct, they are extremely accurate.

I still have a Danish owned, Springfield 1,688xxx as received from CMP many years ago. It's got the numbered buttstock, VAR 6-60 dated replacement barrel and mixed parts. Does your first one have the numbered butt?
