Built around a standard Springfield M1 receiver made in June of 1945, the defining characteristic is the special barrel, produced with an integral scope block just ahead of the receiver. Barrels of this type were produced by Springfield from Jan 1952 to Feb 1953, with the conversion itself performed at the Armory and at Army Depots. Standard sights, with "DRC" marked windage drum. Springfield barrel dated "9-52", Springfield bolt, trigger housing, safety and operating rod, with a Winchester trigger guard. Smooth stock with a circled "P" behind the trigger guard and a checkered butt. With a Hart M2 flash hider, lace-on leather cheekpiece marked "MRT/ 10 52" (sans screws), an M84 telescope numbered "18965" on the data plate with extendable sunscreen and rubber eyepiece, canvas sling, shipping box and a grouping of paperwork from the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
