Late WWII M1 Garand originally manufactured circa late 1944, that has subsequently been upgraded/converted to an M1D Sniper configuration. The rear of the receiver has the five line Springfield Armory markings over serial number "3180427", and the M1D barrel is marked "SA 0731255 3-53". There are no depot rebuild or rework proof marks on the receiver anywhere. The rifle has a mix of early WWII and post war parts, mostly Springfield marked with a narrow base gas cylinder and four slot gas cylinder plug. It is fitted with a set of post-war rear sights with a NM marked front sight. It has a standard post-war walnut stock with a DOD acceptance cartouche on the side and a walnut front and rear handguard set. The buttstock is fitted with a "MRT/2-52" leather cheekpad with a standard checkered steel buttplate. The rifle is complete with a standard M84 sniper scope that is marked on the nomenclature plate with "TELESCOPE/M84/SERIAL NO.8045". The scope has a sliding metal sunshield, a rubber eyepiece,and the standard post and crosshair reticle. The rifle is complete with green web sling, a winter trigger assembly, and a T-37 prong type flash hider.

Very fine as assembled, (possibly outside of an Army depot) with 95% of the current parkerized finish remaining overall with a light colored receiver with a dark parkerized barrel finish. The stock and handguard set is in very fine condition with nice clear distinct cartouches on the side, with a dark walnut colored tone overall, except the rear handguard which is lighter in color. The scope and mount are both in excellent condition with the scope having 95% blue finish overall with clear optics. This rifle does not come with any CMP documentation or paper work. A very nice representative example of a Springfield Armory marked M1D sniper rifle.
