Hey all, I've got a few Garands that are setup in sniper attire. From what little reading I've done the scopes and bases appear to be of the correct period, the serial #'s do not fall into the specified range, and I have no documentation... My assumption is that these are nothing more than Garands that have been setup to look like their authentic sniper counterparts. However, I would like some individuals to take a look to make sure they aren't more than I'm making them out to be. I figure I'll list the basics and if any or all of them have potential I'll start taking some pictures.
Rifle #1 - SA Manufacture, SN 22624xx, bolt marked "D28287-12SA S-06<>", barrel marked "NM SA-F6535448 4-54 A212B" There are no markings on the stock that I see, it does have the leather cheek piece marked "MRT 2 52". The scope is a Kollmorgen with "USMC" electric penciled into the side. It uses a Griffin & Howe mount
Rifle #2 - SA Manufacture, SN 54348xx, bolt marked "6528287-SA A14", barrel marked "SA F6535448 10 54 A21". The only marking on the stock is a cartouche that has what appears to be an angel with 3 stars over it in a box. M84 scope (sn 31561), Griffin & Howe mount.
Rifle #3 - SA Manufacture SN 16102xx (sn is also electric penciled onto the bolt). Bolt is marked D28287-12SA S-B7<>" Barrel is marked SA 8-52 and nothing more. Stock has cartouche "SA NFR" and the Springfield double cannons. Leather cheek piece marked "11-62" Scope is using M1D style mount, scope is a Lyman Alaskan (31531)
Thanks for any help figuring out what these are or aren't
