*RARE AND UNMOLESTED SPRINGFIELD M-1 (TYPE 1) NATIONAL MATCH.

*RARE AND UNMOLESTED SPRINGFIELD M-1 (TYPE 1) NATIONAL MATCH. SN 5925083. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This rifle is a fine example of the Type 1 National Match that was shipped from Raritan Arsenal in New Jersey in April of 1957, and is accompanied by a photocopy of the orig paperwork as well as shipping invoices and orig shipping carton. Type 1 National Matches are usually only marked either on the front left of bbl or on the inside with the nomenclature. This one has the mark on the front left of the bbl and is triple-proofed, as it should be, in the channel. It is equipped with a standard rear sight and the wood is not glass-bedded, which is the norm for a Type 1 gun. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Barreled receiver, as well as the other metal on this rifle, retain better than 98% of their orig dark green parkerizing and are of the 1950’s era with “65” prefixes. Butt stock and handguards show a soft hand-rubbed finish. Butt stock shows near-excellent with one small 1/8″ ding in the bottom of the pistol grip. DOD and circle “P” are very strong and legible. Upper and front handguards both retain the same hand-rubbed finish and show near-excellent, with just a couple of very minor rub marks. T/E shows just under 1-1/2 with a bright shiny bore. Mechanics are crisp. 4-37358 BK38 (4,000-6,000)
