*IMPORTANT SPRINGFIELD M-1 GARAND SN:0000000 W/ EXP COMPONENTS.

*IMPORTANT SPRINGFIELD M-1 GARAND SN:0000000 W/ EXP COMPONENTS. SN 0000000. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This M-1 Garand has very unique features to it that would make it a fine addition to an advanced M-1 collector. The SN is 0000000 and under a 40X microscope shows no signs of being removed or modified. This appears to be a Factory numbered gun in every respect. Secondly, rifle is equipped with an experimental gas cylinder retaining a modified bayonet system and no stacking swivel. It is also equipped with a muzzle brake. Rifle also has what appears to be an experimental modification of the 1947 sight elevation knob though the receiver is not modified there is no clip latch present. Trigger housing assembly is a very early -2 with early components. Bbl is an 8-43. Rear handguard clip is grooved, as it would be on a very early gun, and the lower band is a milled gas trap band with the drawing board number “C-46000-0”. All of these components make for one very interesting Garand! PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Bbl and receiver show near-excellent retaining better than 98% of the orig dark green parkerized finish, with the later sight retaining a mixture of dark green to dark gray. Experimental gas cylinder assembly shows 98% of its orig charcoal gray finish, with the muzzle brake being in the white. The -3 op-rod shows 98% of the same dark green finish as the receiver and other components. Butt stock exhibits no markings except a small crossed cannon on the bottom of the pistol grip, which would put it in the latter-43 range, and shows near-excellent with no significant scuffing or bruising. Front and rear handguard assemblies also show near-excellent with no significant marring. Trigger housing shows 80% of the orig green finish. Mechanics are crisp. T/E gauge is just under 2, and the bore is bright but would clean better. 4-37331 BK49 (7,000-12,000)
