Receiver serial data indicates Springfield Armory manufacture in 1943 (per Scott Duff tables), placing this rifle squarely in the WWII era. The stock bears a circled "P" proof on the wrist and the belly of the stock is impressed with the numerals "13 6," details that add clear period character.
The rifle follows the standard M1 pattern: a gas-operated, long-stroke operating rod with a rotating bolt and semi-automatic operation. It feeds from an internal 8-round magazine loaded by an en-bloc clip, with automatic clip ejection after the last shot. The operating rod/charging handle is on the right side.
Barrel length is 24", with an overall length of approximately 43.5". Length of pull is 13.0". Furniture includes walnut stock and two-piece walnut handguards with an oil finish. Hardware features a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor compartment, sling swivels, and a stacking swivel.
Sights consist of an aperture rear with elevation and windage knobs and a protected front post on the gas cylinder. The rear sight lacks a lock bar, and the rifle has a gas cylinder lock with a slotted lock screw. Metal surfaces are Parkerized, with a steel receiver and matching finish components consistent with the period configuration.
