This is my first post on the new format but I was active previously. Payment can be bank cashiers check, postal money order or personal check (held unless we have traded before).

I would like $SOLD Rifle will come with the CMP certificate. If any potential buyer is interested in also seeing the GCA article featuring the 2 original rifles from July '42 I can also send that to them.ĭon't hesitate to ask for any additional pics. I've attached a completed Data Sheet for a complete breakdown of the parts. The rear handguard clip is grooved and I have not removed this handguard. The only major blemish is a hard strike from a rear sight on the front left of the stock (see pics). Stock and handguards are free from cracks. Stock is an early EMcF with the scooped cut cliplatch cutout. Chamber does not look bright. Bore is bright with strong lands and grooves. It is hard to tell in the pictures, but the metal is a deep dark green color.īarrel has a TE: 1.5 and MW: 1. Click on images for larger view of actual part available. These are hard to find in orig condition A MUST HAVE FOR ANY orig early M1 One pictured available. The long fork started in Dec 43 and went thru end of production.

Short Forks are correct for M1s dated Dec 1943 and EARLIER. The park on the receiver shows little wear from use. Excellent Original Short Fork Follower Rod for the M1 Garand. The metal is in spectacular shape, with no pitting. CMP was letting some nice WWII rifles go out the door back then instead of sending them to auction. The remainder of the rifle is as received from CMP!įrom this same order I also received an unmolested SHM post-war rebuild in similar shape. The buyer can purchase this as well if he wants) Because this rifle was so close to being correct, I saved the original cut 3 oprod. Uncut SA 3 Oprod (although the rifle did come with a small cut 3 oprod.The only parts I added to correct the rifle are: This rifle is mostly as I received it from the CMP a few years ago. I have checked it against two original rifles profiled in the GCA Fall 2011 (Volume 25 Issue 4) from the same month. For your consideration is a July 1942 rifle that I believe is correct.
