Very nice!

Thanks, all correct except the barrel. I have had guys go nuts over the lock bar sights. I had one guy offer me an insane amount of money for the lock bars.

What's the story on yours, sir?

Here's mine... Late 1954 date of manufacture (Springfield) for the receiver, with a National Match barrel. Got this one as an exchange from CMP when my WWII vintage Service Grade rifle had some issues that they couldn't correct after two trips to the armorer in Georgia. Not complaining... this one is a Special Grade.
