*SPRINGFIELD M-1 MODEL T-35 EXPERIMENTAL RIFLE.

*SPRINGFIELD M-1 MODEL T-35 EXPERIMENTAL RIFLE. SN 3. Cal. 7.62X51. 24″ bbl. This rifle is an example of the T-35 experiment that ran from 1947 to 1952 by Mr. Lloyd Corbett of the Springfield Armory to incorporate the (T-65) 308 cartridge into the M-1 Garand. The receiver of this rifle is SN3 of that series. This rifle was rebuilt and rebarreled in 1965, using a production 7.62 “SA”-marked bbl.

Rifle is equipped with a post-war sling. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: This rifle incorporates all post-war features and shows near-excellent as rebuilt and refinished. The metal retains better than 98% of the arsenal refinish, with the butt stock and handguards showing near-excellent with only a few minor abrasions and a prominent circle “P”. Butt plate shows near-new with a black finish. Web sling also shows near-new. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright and shiny. 4-37355 BK40 (3,000-6,000)
