This rifle is an arsenal rebuild identified by the boxed "BA/EB" Benicia Arsenal cartouche on the stock, with a circled "P" over "H" proof on the pistol grip. The receiver dates to 1943, and the Springfield Armory barrel is marked "SA 6 45," confirming a June 1945 production barrel installed during rebuild. A CMP Certificate of Authenticity dated March 20, 2021, documents its Service Grade status.
It retains classic M1 configuration: a 24-inch barrel, steel receiver with a Parkerized phosphate finish, and GI hardwood stock and handguards with a steel buttplate. The upper handguard carries a painted rack number "3216," and the rifle is outfitted with stacking and sling swivels.
Sighting equipment includes a wing-protected front post and a receiver-mounted aperture with windage and elevation drums. The action is gas-operated, semi-automatic, with a rotating bolt. Feeding is via the internal en-bloc clip system with an 8-round capacity. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Rebuild components are consistent with post-war service work, including a Springfield Armory bolt marked "6528287-SA A-10." The combination of a WWII receiver, 1945 SA barrel, and Benicia Arsenal cartouches underscores its U.S. rebuild history, while CMP paperwork and case provide clear provenance.
