Afternoon everyone,
I bought this Springfield Garand from my Brother-in-law, after my Father-in-law's passing. I was lucky enough to receive an IHC Garand myself, and have posted it in the post-ww2 forum for information.
I've never owned a Garand before, so I'm excited to now have two! Any information that could be provided to me would be greatly appreciated.
What I have found so far (please correct me):
serial puts the receiver as being made in April of 45
Barrel stamp shows March of 45
It appears to me to have a newer stock
Outside of that, I understand that the numbers are heat lot numbers, but I dont know if all parts are correct, etc.
Thank you for any insight you can offer!
Curtis
