Need help with Garande ser.#

[Mark Kendrick]

My Garande ser. Is 7005133, that's 7005133. Appears to be out of range from anything that I can find. Any one who has knowledge on what year it was made.
Other markings on gun indicate Springfield Armory.

It was made by the commercial Springfield Armory Inc., NOT Springfield Armory. It isn't a "real" M1. They were made in the 80's. The "real" SA M1's stopped in the 6 million range.

Thanks for the assistance. Don't know how bad the news is, I gave $600.00 for the gun with 150 rounds of 30-06 bullets.
Gun is fun to shoot.
