*SPRINGFIELD MODEL M1D SNIPER RIFLE. SN 687496. Cal. 30-06. The M1D in general was a rifle that was assembled during a rebuild program post-WWII. The majority of them were built at the Tokyo arsenal in Japan. It was cheaper and easier to send the parts overseas than it was to crate the guns up and send them back to the United States for rebuild. This example is a 1941/42 Springfield that was rebuilt using the newly designed M1D sniper system. All parts with the exception of the bbl, upper handguard and rear sight are original WWII manufacture. Rifle comes with original shipping box from CMP with copies of all applicable paper work and all accessories that CMP would send with an M-1D. All accessories are packaged dated June 1981. Rifle has a January 52 dated bbl with standard battle sights and a Hart flash hider. It has the integral bbl mounted scope base and mount containing an M84 scope with post & crosshair reticle and a rubber eye cup. Mounted in a 1-pc walnut stock with 2-pc walnut handguards and a laced-on leather cheekpiece also dated January 52. Stock has two “P” proofs on bottom of wrist, one sharp and one faint. It also has a modern canvas sling. CONDITION: Extremely fine, as arsenal restored. Retains virtually all of its parkerized finish on metal, bright blue on scope and oil finish on wood. Cheekpiece & sling are also new. Crisp optics & mechanics, brilliant shiny bore. 4-31840 (3,000-4,000)
