Always difficult to find nice SA '42 dated barrels (even 20 years ago) have to be careful of restorations, often used fake short pinions & flush nuts. Early 1942 rifles up to around June, would have the late short channel GHS stock. I have one '42 rifle only and had it quite a long time, has original type 1 lock bar & short pinion and SA GHS stock (faint cartouche) but short channel. A really nice '42 could bring between 3K & 4K, maybe more if Lend Lease marked and original. Barrel on rifle photo is S-A 5-42

I bought this 42 from a friend of mine. 2175 shipped. No pics. description should be good. Dave I picked up a six digit SA #403286 I think 12-‘41 at the show of shows last weekend. The G.I. stock is really nice but no cartouche. It has a grooved rear hand guard clip, a 3-S-A-oprod 10-43 barrel with 1+ and 2+ readings. 2 SA Bolt RE4D, Bright throat, complete 5 SA trigger group, forged trigger guard, SA Short Fork, SA Narrow Base Gas Cylinder, Front Sight w/ seal intact, 8 marked Follower Assembly & Flushnut rear sights w/ checkered elevation knob. The lack of correct stock, barrel, single slot cylinder screw, op rod (relieved 6 SA), are the only things stop it from being correct.
