*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M-1D SNIPER RIFLE.

*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M-1D SNIPER RIFLE. SN 387027. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This M-1D started life as a Springfield Armory 1941 gun that was rebuilt and transitioned into an M-1D in 1951. Most mechanical parts such as the bolt, follower, follower rod and other small parts remain orig 1941 manufacture. The updates consist of the gas cylinder, the bbl, rear sight assembly and wood. Rifle is equipped with a standard M-84 telescope and a Hart-manufactured cone flash hider. Rifle is accompanied by misc. copies of CMP information. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Receiver shows better than 98% of its orig dark green finish, with the M-1D bbl showing about the same. The M-84 telescope and mounting system shows near-mint, maintaining just about all of its finish, with crystal clear optics, with the only flaw being that the spot weld on the elevation knob cover has failed, so the cover is taped in place. The rubber eyepiece is soft and pliable with no cracking. The buttstock shows near-excellent with only a couple of minor scuffs, with the “8 51” cheekpiece also being in near-excellent condition. The cheekpiece is not screwed in place, but in sliding it forward it is obvious that it has been mounted for many years. Upper and front handguards also show near-excellent with only a couple of light scuffs in each. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright with a T/E of 2. 4-37320 BK35 (2,800-4,200)
