The boxed 'SA/SHM' cartouche on the stock identifies this rifle as an arsenal rebuild performed at Springfield Armory. The stock also carries the Ordnance crossed-cannon and a circled 'P' proof on the pistol grip, with an additional 'P' proof on the barrel, providing clear, factory-applied markings appreciated by collectors.
It features a Springfield Armory barrel dated February 1946 paired with an HRA-marked bolt, reflecting its postwar rebuild configuration. The action is the classic M1 system: gas-operated, semi-automatic, with a rotating bolt, chambered in .30-06 and fed by an 8-round en-bloc clip.
The 24-inch barrel and iron sighting system remain true to form. Up front is a wing-protected blade, while the rear is an aperture sight adjustable for windage and elevation via knurled drums. The elevation knob is marked 'UP BATTLE / DOWN RANGE', a detail often sought out by enthusiasts.
The receiver is carbon steel with a Parkerized finish. The rifle wears a full-length hardwood stock with upper and lower handguards and a 13.0-inch length of pull. Overall presentation is clean and correct, with a bright, mirror bore and sharp rifling that align with the stated condition.
