Springfield M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle, #1813344, .30-06 cal., 24'' barrel, blued/painted finish, walnut stock, blade front sight with protective ears and folding leaf rear sight. Marked on receiver tang ''U.S.RIFLE CAL..30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY'', and on right side of barrel, ''3-S-A-7-43''. Bolt, hammer, trigger housing, and operating rod all marked ''SA''. Rifle has been modified by removing issue rear sight, cutting a hole in the rear handguard, and attaching a small folding leaf rear sight directly to the barrel. Gas cylinder and exposed barrel have been painted black, and receiver and operating rod have been refinished with a dark bluing. Condition overall is very good as modified, with metal surfaces retaining over 95% of its painted and blued finish with some flaking on the gas cylinder, light wear on the bolt and receiver, and thinning and patina on the buttplate. Wood has been refinished with a semi-gloss stain and is in very good condition showing a few light handling marks. Action is smooth, bright bore is very good. No visible import stamps. Buttstock contains cleaning kit, but door is jammed preventing removal. Includes a U.S. M1907 leather sling stamped ''MILSCO 1943'' in good condition with darkening and cracking to the leather. Est.: $800-$1,000. (C&R)
