5/11/23 - This is an excellent example of a Springfield M1 Garand issued to the US military during WW2. The receiver dates to June of 1944. The barrel is Springfield marked and dated 1945. The left side of the stock is faintly SA proofed with a cross canon cartouche. Another tiny cartouche on the grip cap. There is an "AAL" arsenal marking on the left side of the stock as well. The gun has a proper lock bar sight. The metal parts have retained most of their original finish with very minor wear around the muzzle and on some of the high edges. Very nice wood furniture with minor dings and bruises here and there - also been lightly sanded. Tiny hairline crack in the upper handguard where it meets the receiver. Excellent bore with strong rifling. Comes with a canvas sling. Muzzle reading: 1. Throat reading: 0.
