Manufactured in January 1941. The included CMP bill of sale lists the rifle by serial number and "service grade" designation. Standard blade front and early style peep rear sights with the locking bar on the windage drum. The barrel is dated "6-45". With a Springfield bolt, and "HRA" marked hammer and trigger group. Non-matching standard GI stock and handguard set with an uncircled "P" proof on the wrist and checkered trapdoor buttplate. With CMP certificate of authenticity. Provenance: Bruce Canfield collection.

Very good as arsenal refurbished. 90% of the post-war arsenal parkerized finish remains with noticeable bright wear on the gas plug, surface scratches, and cycling marks. The reoiled replacement wood is fine with several deep pressure dents, and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
