I just brought home a '43 WWII Garand that I had purchased though private sale receiver #14851XX. I field stripped it yesterday and discovered all of the parts are SA and all, except for the barrel which was replaced in "53 and perhaps the trigger group #D28290-14-SA are original. The stock has no markings on it what so ever and is finished in the usual SA deep red walnut.
Since this rifle never went through the CMP program (sans the lack of cartouches) is it possible that it is an unmarked match rifle or rifle sold directly to a local club from Springfeild? What are your thoughts. Inquiring minds really want to know. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
