Thank you for posting They are are all SA period parts. I do not see any rebuild marks/stamps. What do you see, I don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccyooper Posted July 14, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 14, 2020 Well, it is hard to tell from the pictures because they are not close up, but a late 44 rifle would not have a milled trigger guard. Also, while blurry in my pictures I can see that it does not have a lock bar sight. They appear to be the type of rear sight that where used post war. That’s what leads me to believe it went through a rebuild at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted July 14, 2020 ccyooper is corrrect. It is a postwar rebuild. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted July 14, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 14, 2020 I love those rebuilds, they have their history behind them. Is there a cartouche on the stock or a proof mark on the grip area? I have a 1944 Garand myself that was later rebuilt with a 1947 barrel and post KW stock. The rest is 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted July 14, 2020 It has SA over an M on the left wrist area and a P on pistol grip. Best I can with indoor flash. A lot of glare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted July 14, 2020 Share #13 Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks for posting the pics. It almost looks like a partially sanded down S. A. over E.McF cartouche, Springfield Armory - Earl McFarland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted July 14, 2020 I think you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #15 Posted July 14, 2020 This may be better. The M must have been the deep part of the stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everforward Posted July 14, 2020 Share #16 Posted July 14, 2020 That ‘SA’ cartouche with only the upper half of the square is a complete cartouche, not sanded down....Springfield Armory used these on refurbished rifles, post-WW2. The “M” is the initial of the inspector for the rifle....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
