*US M1-D SNIPER RIFLE. SN 366287. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This M1-D sniper rifle was built on a 1942 receiver as virtually all M1-Ds were built up from unserviceable rifles post WWII. Rifle appears to be in excellent overall condition with all the proper accroutrements for its manufacturer. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Receiver has a green parkerizing that matches well with the scope block and mount. The Nov of 1952 dated bbl is more of a dark gray parkerizing as is the front sight and gas cylinder assembly. The flash hider is T-37 type with a carrying case marked tweedie 1944. The trigger guard/floorplate assembly also retains better than 90% of its finish and is equipped with a winter trigger. The M84 telescope is in excellent condition with virtually no finish loss and crystal optics. The Milsco 1944 dated leather sling is in excellent plus condition with some white residue which appears to be some type of preservative. The wood is in excellent condition with no significant marks on either the hand guards or the buttstock. The 11-58 dated cheekpiece is also in excellent condition. Mechanics are crisp, bore is bright and shiny. This is a very nice example of a Korean War vintage M1-D. 4-34039 BK15 (2,000-3,000)
