*SPRINGFIELD M-1 TYPE 2 NM, (AIR GAUGED). SN 5894954. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This Type 2 National Match was manufactured in late 1954-early 1955 and incorporates the use of the seldom seen air gauging process on the bbl.

Butt stock and trigger guard are numbered to the gun. Rifle is equipped with an “NM / 2A” rear sight assembly, as well as an “NM” front sight, gas cylinder and op-rock are also NM marked . Rifle is accompanied by a grease container in the butt, as well as a web sling. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Metal shows better than 99% of the orig dark gray parkerized finish on all components except the op-rod, which shows a slight rub mark on the body. Butt stock and handguards show near-excellent, with one or two very minor rub marks. This is a Type 2 National Match that would be very tough to upgrade. T/E is just under 2, with mechanics being very tight and crisp, with the bore showing bright and shiny. 4-37354 BK41 (3,000-5,000)
