This is an example of a Korean War era M1D Garand sniper rifle that was converted by Springfield Armory and subsequently assembled from various parts. The receiver was originally manufactured in WWII, mid 1945 and currently it is fitted with a M1D sniper barrel which is marked "D7312555 SA-11-52" with the breech end still in the white and it is fitted with a mix of early and late-WWII SA marked parts. It has the late production wide base gas cylinder, and round top gas cylinder lock. It has the late type front and rear sight set. It is fitted with an original M1D scope mount that has a M84 sniper scope installed. The scope id plate is marked "TELESCOPE/M84/SERIAL NO.45623" on the data plate with an original rubber eyepiece and the sliding metal sunshield on the front end. The rifle has a walnut stock and handguard set and the stock has a two "P" proofs (one circled and one uncircled) in the pistol grip area. It is fitted with a leather lace-on, cheek-pad that is marked "MRT/11-58". This rifle comes with an original WWII M2 flash hider manufactured by SA and so marked on the underside and a unmarked green web sling. Provenance: Bruce Canfield collection.

Very good as assembled with 90% of a green parkerized finish on the receiver and op rod, with 95% of a medium gray parkerized finish on the barrel and associated parts. The wood components are all in fine condition with a nice medium brown color overall showing only minor handling marks overall. The scope is in very fine condition with 90% of its blued finish with clear sharp optics. The leather cheek-pad and sling are also in excellent condition.
