*US M1-D SNIPER RIFLE

*US M1-D SNIPER RIFLE. SN 3379300. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This is a fine example of a 1944 M1 that was rebuilt post war into a D model sniper rifle. This is very common as all M1-D’s were built from unserviceable rifles. It retains excellent condition overall with all of the proper accroutrements. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Receiver has a nice green parkerizing with just a few minor marks on it. The bolt has some scattered finish loss but is still pleasing to look at. The bbl, scope base, and op rod are all a darker green parkerizing with very little finish loss. The flash hider is a Hart cone type. The trigger guard/floorplate assembly is a green with some brown oxidation in it and is in good condition. The telescope retains aprox 90% of its blue finish with the majority of wear being on the sun shade and adjustment covers. The wood is in excellent condition with just a little bit of scarring on the stock just below the operating rod assembly. The optics are very clear but there is some very minute speckling. Mechanics are crisp, bore is bright and shiny and the undated cheekpiece is in excellent condition as is the WWII sling. 4-34037 BK16 (1,800-2,700)
