I picked up this 1942 Springfield at the gunshow in Columbia a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't really looking for one at the time, I just kind of ran into it.
 I took it to the range today. Very smooth shooter and pretty accurate at 50 meters. It's all Springfield except the trigger pack which is IHC. There are no import marks and the metal is immaculate. It has a 1954 SA barrel that measures a 1 at the muzzle. That ping sure puts a smile on my face.      |

Nice find. I can see where the stock has been sanded if you look at the heel of the receiver how it overlaps the stock so definitely some materials was taken off there. Those inspection stamps are a little bit too deep and clear in my mind especially the cross cannon ordinance bombs those look to me like they're definitely reproduction stamps.

Looks good, how much if you don't mind me asking. Most gun show Garands I've seen lately are recent CMP guns people are flipping at higher prices

Those things never fail to impress. I can reliably bust fridge size rocks way out there.

Does it have a seriffed capital "P" in a circle on the wrist? Did you buy it from Ike at the front of the 2nd bldg?
Anyway, congrats and buy more clips and ammo. Don't use commercial hunting ammo in it. make sure to use 30-06 loaded to M2 ball pressures and with about 150 grain bullets. High pressure 30-06 ammo intended for hunters bolt guns will eventually cause damage to an M1. I would also have a knowledgeable gunsmith check headspace on the barrel to bolt lockup, with GO and NoGo 30-06 gauges. IM me if you have questions. |

Yeah, they do look suspect but I don't really care. I bought it to shoot.

Good score.
I agree, the stock cartouches are fake. The lock bar sight looks repro, the stamping is too deep and Parkerizing is too dark. You didn’t pay a premium price and looks like a good shooter. |

That is a good price for a M1 rifle in that condition. Good score.

Nice rifle. I'd ditch the stock. Keep an eye out at DuPage trading and get one of their unmarked stocks. Won't cost that much and won't have the fake marks.
