I had one Springfield #2078 for a time and no, it hadn't remained a gas trap.

I've got Winchester 1385881 (1943) and Springfield Armory 2751600 (1944).
In the relative scheme of things, am I right to assume that a good shape WWII vintage rifle is worth more than a same shape later era M1? |

A correct post war rifle is normally worth more than a WWII receiver with mix of parts
If both are mixmasters it all comes down to which one has the more valuable parts on it. Of course a all WWII parts rifle in unmolested form is the Holy Grail |

That's not a photoshop; that's the first tool room model.
Lowest I've got. Produced right before Pearl, September 1941. Rebuilt by RRAD sometime in the 60's. When I picked it out from the North Store, I don't think it had been touched since rebuild.

I had just reassembled it, didn't have it sighted in, and couldn't find my white grease pen, so I had to use yellow crayon. All fixed now, just don't have a pic.

I know that the United States Army Infantry Museum used to have a display case which held an M1 Garand, M14 and M16 A2 all bearing the serial number "001."
So that's the lowest that I have personally seen. |
