That one seems less likely but who knows. I think I read a TOE once that showed the buck sgt actually carrying an 03 with the grenade launcher.......... But I think a Sgt would typically have a sidearm maybe? And in France my guess is it would've been a 1911A1. But God I would love to know what he carried. I'd be tempted to sell almost every gun I had to own the ones he actually used. But more than likely the ones I have probably cover it (rifles). Well, maybe not. I would keep a few handguns for carrying besides those though....... |

Oh that's going to be hot when you get it. Please post pics!!!! I think I heard you're scoping it too, eh?
That's gonna be a nice rifle for sure. It is now too. On another note, I don't know if it's just the pick but your stock looks like it needs some oil........ |

Yes, they are Garand lock bar sights. This receiver shipped from Springfield Inc. in May of 1980 as a stripped receiver. It was built up with USGI National Match parts, including a '76 dated Saco-Lowell medium contour National Match barrel. The one part that's not NM is the sight drums. They're old Garand Lock Bar sights. The front sight and rear apeture are NM, but from what I'm told, back when this rifle was assembled, NM sight parts were tough to find, so many that built M1A's used Garand sights. Dunno, I was 11 when this receiver left the factory. All I know is that the muzzle and TE are outstanding on this rifle, and "Charlene" is quite the shooter. I picked her up about 2006 or so from a local shop for $800, including 8 mags, a hard case, two stocks, a Springfield scope mount with Bushnell 3x9 scope, sling, and cleaning kit. I almost ripped my pants getting my wallet out, and the guy behind me was hovering over my shoulder waiting for me to put it down so he could claim "Dibs". It had arrived in the shop and was put out earlier that morning.....luckily my sales call for the day brought me a block away from that shop. :) I don't think they looked to see there were NM parts all over this thing. Anyway, Springfield said it was sold as a bare reciever 5/80, so it was built by a shooter, who obviously didn't shoot this one all that much :-D |

I was gonna say great price, but when you get into ones that were built up, you never know what you're going to get. So that might be why it was priced lower. But I'm sure if it was put together properly, it's good to go. Could've been someone very reputable and knowledgeable put it together. |
