Got my first Garand today, a Winchester manufactured in October 1942. Barrel is 1951 SA--also has a Winchester bolt and a SA trigger group and op rod. Kind of dirty and some surface rust when I got it, but cleaned up pretty nice. The barrel looks a bit shot out--MW is about 2.5 and it has some pitting in the bore--TE measures 9 with my TE gauge, but it's a .308 gauge and I don't think they can accurately measure 30.06 (can they?). I'll probably replace it with a .308 barrel (I know, sacrilege!).
Here it is with its little brothers (Ithaca 1911A1 and IBM Carbine):
The stock has some nice tiger striping and no dents at all. But it doesn't have any stamps of any kind. I can't tell if it's USGI or aftermarket. Anyone have any idea if they made USGI stocks with no proof marks?
