*SPRINGFIELD M1-C SNIPER RIFLE

*SPRINGFIELD M1-C SNIPER RIFLE. SN 3713287. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This is a fine example of a WWII M1-C sniper rifle that appears to be in orig condition with the exception of the cheekpad being replaced. Rifle is equipped with a M82 telescope, a WWII leather sling and a Hart flash hider. The cheekpiece is dated 1962. Rear sight knobs are updated to 1947 variety. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Receiver retains approx 95% of the orig green parkerizing as does the bbl. The flash hider also retains better than 95% of its orig finish. The bands and trigger guard/floorplate assembly are also in like condition retaining better than 95% of their orig finish. The parkerizing on the gas cylinder is very thin but very pleasing. The front and rear hand guards as well as the stock are in excellent condition with just the most minute scarring and the circle P on the pistol grip is very prominent. Leather cheekpiece shows some green oxidation around the eyelits where it is strapped on and appears to have been on this rifle for many years. The scope base is numbered to the gun and the mount has a serial number of 3515991 and is excellent condition with a blue finish. The telescope shows a dark green almost black finish to it and the scope and the numbered caps retain approx 90% finish. Mechanics are crisp, bore is bright and shiny. A very fine example of an unmolested M1-C sniper rifle. 4-34040 BK14 (6,000-8,000)
