I got one of the M-1D Rifles that the DCM sold about ten years ago when they first sold them. Mine is in pristine condition with the flash suppressor in its original packing as well as the scope individually packed and the cheek piece in its packing. With the iron sights, the rifle will shoot MOA with .30-'06 Match ammo. With the underpowered G.I. scope, it's just a very slight bit better than with the irons. The problem with the standard scope is that it and the mount are 7/8" so any other 1" scope can not be switched in. In the early '50s it may have been OK, but since then, scopes have come a long way. One characteristic that makes it different from other rifles usually fired is the flash suppressor: with each shot there is the tuning fork "twang" from the vibrating prongs. As far as a M-1D stock goes, it is EXACTLY the same as any other standard M-1 stock. If the leather cheek piece has been installed, there will be a hole where the one brass round headed wood screw was screwed through the leather into the wood. The rear handguard will be shortened to allow the barrel sleeve that is the scope basemount. I'm not a collector, but this rifle is worth keeping because it shoots so well (except for the crappy G.I.scope).
