    looking for a good IHC m1 garand reference book

    Any recommendations for a good reference book to check International Harvester M1icon Garand for correctness?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Nice looking rifle, I'd love to know exactly where it travelled to. Scott Duff speaks of them and illustrates in his book "The M1icon Garand: POST WORLD WAR II". You might get what you want there.

    The one in Scott's book also has a four digit number but different from yours. The ones he displays are 4445628, 4575534, 4584311, 4584312, 4655712 and one close to yours...5104106.

    By the text in the forum it may be a pipedream. One of the books we wait for forever...thread goes back 6 years.

    IHC

    The IHC book is a long sad story that is still on-going. The stock number 1674 is a dating code indicating the 167th day of 1954. That's not the rifle date, just the wood.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    The barrel date is 5/54 I cant seem to be able to pin point when the reciever was made like you can with the other makers.
