I recently picked this Springfield 4.27m rifle up from the North Store as you see it. The only item that I find not correct as expected is the D35362 SA op-rod which was used post WWII on rebuilds. I have been told the hang tag that came on this CMP rifle is a USMC repair tag. I have no clue what the R-2 code stands for but it would be pretty cool if it just meant the op-rod was changed out by the USMC. RCS said I should post it up here to see if I get any input.

I posted a thread on the CMP Forums and it seems there was some discussion on whether there should have been a - or a / used in the tag. But no one said it was not a USMC tag. No idea on the op-rod but I am betting the 65 series op-rod was replaced. Since the tag has the serial number on it I am guessing it could have been repaid and stored since 1959.
