*SPRINGFIELD M1 GARAND (WITH GAS TRAP).

*SPRINGFIELD M1 GARAND (WITH GAS TRAP). SN 7492. Cal. 30. 22-1/4″bbl. This is a good example of a M1 Garand that was restored using some orig and some reproduction parts. Obtainability of orig parts for these rifles is virtually impossible, as well as very cost prohibitive, so there are some quality reproduction parts in the marketplace. This gun has been fitted with some of those quality parts. Orig parts include: receiver, operating rod, handguards, buttplate, entire bolt assembly, and most small parts, including the complete trigger housing, followers, lower band assembly, rear sight spring and stock ferrule. Reproduction and/or modified parts include: rear sight assembly, gas cyl, front sight and bbl. Receiver does have the modified 7th round stoppage and appears to have had some slight modifications done to it. Buttstock has a “GHS” cartouche and large ordnance wheel and has had the rear edge shaved to accommodate to the no-trap buttplate. Spring and short forward follower are of the 1940-1942 vintage. Rifle is equipped with a very nice “MDC” marked, 1918 leather sling. Overall this rifle gives a nice appearance and is a fine representative piece for someone who would like to add a Gas Trap to their collection. PROVENANCE: Carl Metz Collection. CONDITION: Receiver retains better than 98% of an arsenal refinish, along with the rear sight assembly. Bbl assembly shows better than 98% of its orig finish while the stainless steel gas trap assembly, with muzzle extension, shows approx 90% of a black enamel paint. Operating rod shows approx 90% finish with a mixture of orig and some touch-up. Bolt assembly show 90% orig finish. Buttstock and handguards show good with only some slight scuffing to the handguards, with the buttstock also having a couple of deep bruises on left side of wrist. Trigger guard assembly shows better than 95% of the charcoal gray orig finish, with the exception of the safety having been refinished. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright. 4-38420 BEK3 (4,500-8,500)
