So that would be around 600,000-700,000 serial number wise?The receiver was built by Springfield Armory. The serial number puts it at June, 1942.
It is out of CMP. CMP put it at Service Grade. That seems accurate based on their grade criteria. I picked it up from another INGO member...seems to be a good guy.
None of the furniture looks to be new replacement.
M is 3
T is 2
There are better ones out there, obviously, but I expect it will be a good shooter. Another I have from the Korean era has similar M and T. It consistently groups 2" at 100. Steel torso is routine out to 400yds. Hopefully this one will have similar performance.
Open to input, criticism, etc.
When I saw what has been happening to carbines lately, as well as the current environment, I thought it might be a good time to pick up another.
