Manufactured post-WWII, this rifle was selected for upgrade to a Type II National Match rifle. Blade and peep sights, with the former marked "NM/062" and the latter marked "NM" on the staff, "NM/2" on the right ear, "595" on the peep hood, "WH NM SA" on the windage drum and "WC E" on the elevation drum. The left and right sides of the barrel, underside of the gas cylinder and top of the operating rod are marked "NM", with a Springfield bolt, trigger housing, hammer, and safety, "RA" operating rod, and a Harrington & Richardson "6-52" dated barrel with "P", "T", "5-pointed star", "NM" and "crossed cannon" stamps on the chamber. A matching serial number has been applied in white pencil to the operating rod channel and the magazine floorplate. The stock is lightly glass bedded, with "DoD" and "P" stamps on the exterior, and a checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine as arsenal upgraded, with 95% plus original parkerized finish, showing some mild spotting around the gas port, cycling wear and mild handling marks. The stock is in equally very fine condition, with some light dings. Mechanically excellent.
