The camo HBT shirt. Is it a P42 or a P44? Either way color me jelly!

Holy shit, you have the exposed turrets as well.
Attached File Shoot that M1C at Camp Perry in the Vintage Sniper Rifle Match. My son had one of the retired Army guys on the Virginia Rifle Team build his M1D for Camp Perry on my Harrington and Richardson Korean War-era rifle. Attached File |

You need to write that story down on paper somewhere.
You need to preserve those artifacts. Maybe store them in his foot locker, make a trunk or better still, make display case. |

I wish I knew the exact year it was built by the RTE… I believe it was in the early to mid 70s as he was getting near the end of his service and said he had it built for retirement. He loved this rifle and was very proud of the build.
What an amazing man and a true bad ass !!!!! |

Wow that is an amazing rifle! There is not too much I see online I would love to own, but this would be at the top of the list. :)
Btw I have a M1C scope and mount that is serialized to about a 100 digits off this rifle. |

You got a pic ? Would love to see it

What Bigbore said, above. Rifle is an M1C 1952 also known as a MC-1. OP you have a big responsibility, i.e., preserving that Marine's history.

Well as a former Marine myself… I’m honored to do so !!!!

I sometimes stop at a cemetery near an Old Soldier's Home. There are quite a lot of the markers that say, "WW2, Korea and Vietnam". Warriors I am thankful for.
