My question is, are these often faked?
My impression was that these have RRAD etched on the stock, which this one does NOT have.
When I bought it I was not looking for a RRAD but a low TE/ME Garand in good shape, which it is and it is a naturally great shooter too!
Rifle dates May 1942 per the serial number.
Rifle has been beautifully reparked, except for the bolt and gas cylinder. Barrel is marked 12 65.
Looks like a possible birch front handguard.
Has RRAD machine etched on the right hand side of the receiver. The stock has the proof load P in a square.
Everything seems to check out except the RRAD stock mark.
What say you guys?
