Monday is Gun-day!
M1 Garand. Springfield Armory, January of 1945 date on the receiver. Looks to have been rebarreled during 1965 by some engraving on the receiver inside the stock. Barrel is from 10/64. Muzzle is a 1+, throat at 2+. This should be a good shooter. The wood on the stock looks beat up from being stacked in a crate (op rod gouges on left side), but I can live with that!
I think something was scratched into the stock a long time ago. There is a 4-6" part that received some focused sanding efforts followed by a heavy restain, maybe in the 60's. It would be fun to know the story.
