Norm,

Congratulations on the great M1 buy! That is a nice looking M1. Have you had a chance to shoot it yet; keep us posted. You did make the buy of the show at that price. I know you are proud of this beauty!

I have one M1, a Springfield made in 1943, and all original except the charging handle which is an approx 1945 vintage and the 4-slot gas plug. I have installed a repro 2-slot gas plug, but still keep the one that came with it. Mine shoots great at 200 yds.

Norm,

That is a nice looking stock! Now all you need to do is get the repro stamps on the wood and it will be perfect, LOL.....Actually, there is a guy in Atlanta or Stone Mountain that has all the correct stamps and I have heard he does a good job. I think the stamps are "off" just enough that a collector won't be fooled.

I am like you wanting to go to the range with the new K98ks.

took out Sunday fired 6 clips though it , to make sure it function alright, and it did , the next time I will sight it in as soon as figure out what load I'm going to shoot in it. I think 150 grn. bullets I got are to light , I'm thinking maybe 165 grn BT bullet would be better. in my 03A3 I'm using 180 grn BT bullet and its perfect

SOG has m1's! http://www.southernohiogun.com/new.htm just found this

Rate of burn and the proper pressure curve are important when loading for the M1. Of course, I'm sure you've already researched that.

Norn,

Your S/N indicates it was made in 1952; does the barrel date come close to this? You may know about this website, but here is a link: http://www.armscollectors.com/srs.htm

You can enter the serial number for a loooot of weapons and get the approx. date of manufacture. I have used this search a lot.

another guy told me it was 1953 so i don't know

Bzinggg,
Is that a scope rail or a "cheese grater" type hand guard on top of the 3rd from the top Garrand? I can't tell but it looks interesting.

I wish I had the extra cash I'd be on the phone to SOG already with a handpicked one. Timing is everything isn't it? I'm waiting for the first semester tuition bill as my son is back in college tomorrow.

I guess college comes before an M1... ???...I'm sure college comes before an M1... ... DAMN, college definitely comes before an M1...
