This rifle is a documented U.S. arsenal rebuild that pairs a WWII Springfield Armory receiver (1943) with a Springfield Armory replacement barrel dated 9/1964. It also features a post-war SA-marked bolt, reflecting a correct mix of components from the rifle’s service life and subsequent rebuild.
The M1 configuration is retained throughout: a standard 24-inch barrel, semi-automatic, gas-operated action, the M1 gas system with bayonet lug, and an 8-round clip-fed internal magazine. These features preserve the rifle’s proper function and handling characteristics.
Furniture and finish are period-appropriate, with a walnut stock and matching walnut handguards. The stock includes a steel trapdoor buttplate with an internal storage compartment. The receiver and metal components wear a Parkerized finish.
The sighting system is correct for the platform: a wing-protected front blade integral to the gas cylinder and a rear aperture sight with windage and elevation drums under protective ears. Markings include a P proof on the barrel and a boxed stamp on the barrel.
Additional details include a 13.0 length of pull and manufacture in the United States. Overall, this rifle offers a WWII receiver foundation complemented by post-war Springfield updates from its arsenal rebuild.
