Lot 426: U.S. Springfield M1D Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with M84 Scope

Manufactured post-WWII and fitted out as a M1D Sniper Rifle. Blade front and peep rear sights, with "DRC" windage and "WCE" elevation drums and a Springfield "S A 1 53" barrel with integral scope base. Internal components include a Springfield bolt, trigger housing, hammer, safety and relief cut operating rod. The hardwood stock is arsenal stamped "RRA" on the right, "140" on the grip above a boxed "P" and Ordnance crossed cannons, a set of drilled and tapped holes on the belly, and a "MRT 1-52" cheekpiece (screws not installed or included). Included with the rifle is a Hart M2 flash hider, 1942-dated PAL bayonet with sheath, and an M84 scope numbered "5395" with sun shield and rubber eyepiece.

Very fine, with 95% of the arsenal parkerized finish, showing bright wear on the gas cylinder and light handling marks overall. The refinished stock is very good, with some dings and dents, and the cheekpiece shows some staining and verdigris buildup. The scope shows some light handling marks, with crisp optics. Mechanically excellent.
