This is a nice example of a late WWII M1 Garand rifle that was converted into a M1D Garand type sniper rifle during the Korean War. This receiver is marked "U.S. RIFLE/CAL 30 M1/SPRINGFIELD ARMORY/3316045", however the receiver does not show any depot rebuild marks. The right side of the barrel is marked "D7312555 MD-34 S A 11-52" and the operating rod is a early post WWII version marked "D35383 SA". The remaining parts are a mix of early and late WWII SA marked parts. The receiver is fitted with a post war rear sight set that is marked "DRC" on the right side, with a wide base gas cylinder and a post war gas cylinder lock. It has a very nice walnut stock and handguard set with just a boxed "SA/GAW" cartouche on the left side with a single "P" proof in the pistol grip area. It is fitted with a leather cheekpiece marked "MRT-3-52". The rifle is complete with an original M84 sniper scope and a very rough cast/reproduction scope mount with replacement screws. The identification plate is marked "TELESCOPE M84 SERIAL NO. 1970" and it has reproduction rubber eye protector. The rifle is complete with a Hart marked M2 Flash Hider and a early green canvas sling.
