Manufactured in February of 1944 and subsequently arsenal upgraded to M1D Sniper configuration. Blade front and peep rear sights, with "DRC" and "S SI-" drums and a Springfield "S-A-6-52" barrel with integral scope base. Internal components include a Springfield bolt, trigger housing, hammer, safety and the relief-cut operating rod, and "LL/D 28291 32" on the receiver leg. Smooth pistol grip stock, with a circled "P" on the underside of the wrist, Springfield "S.A." and Raritan Arsenal "R.A." cartouches on the left side, and a checkered steel buttplate. A plain brown shipping box is included, containing the following accessories: a green canvas scope pouch, assorted cleaning gear (sealed packaging), green canvas sling, leather cheekpiece, and a U.S. M84 scope with mount, sun shield and rubber eye piece.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished upgraded, with 95% of the parkerized finish, showing some white residue on the barrel and gas cylinder, mild edge wear and light handling marks. The reoiled stock is very good, with a set of screw holes on the underside of the buttstock, white residue and mild dents and dings. The lower band pin has been removed, and the front handguard can move freely with the gas cylinder dismounted. The scope is very good, with mild wear and spotting. Mechanically excellent.
