This rifle features a WWII-vintage Springfield Armory receiver marked "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY" with drawing/heat-lot "D28287-12SA S-11" and a small diamond stamp. It is fitted with a USGI HRA barrel marked "D6535448 10-52 RS17 P," a configuration typical of arsenal rebuilds that mixed wartime receivers with later barrels.
The operating system is the standard M1: gas-operated, semi-automatic with a rotating bolt. It has a 24-inch barrel and a fixed internal magazine loaded by 8-round en-bloc clips, maintaining the rifle's original feed system and manual of arms.
Sighting equipment is correct for the platform, including the T105E1-style rear aperture with windage and elevation drums and a wing-protected front sight on the gas cylinder. These sights provide precise, repeatable adjustments suitable for service-grade use.
The rifle retains its parkerized finish over steel components and a full-length oil-finished walnut stock with matching handguards. Furniture details include a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor compartment. Markings include a barrel proof "P," two circled "P" stamps on the pistol grip, and an import mark located at "GARDNER, MA."
Length of pull measures 13.0 inches. The rifle comes with an installed olive-drab web sling and a set of 10 en-bloc clips to support immediate use and storage.
