Description

8/24/22 - This is an absolutely gorgeous US Springfield M1D sniper rifle with M84 scope, mount, cone flash hider, leather cheek piece and more. It also comes in the shipping box with plastic storage wrap numbered to both the rifle and the scope. Excellent September of 1944 serial numbered Springfield receiver with 8-52 SA barrel with bright and shiny bore. The rifle looks about new as re-arsenaled for the CMP. Our consignor won the CMP lottery for this in 1996 and has not used it since he received it. The rifle and scope are excellent inside and out. All the accessories look new and unused. These were sold only if the shooting club member entered and was lucky enough to be selected as a lottery winner. The M1Ds were all made from existing stocks of M1 rifles, utilizing new SA barrels (usually 1951/52 dated) with a mix of other parts. P Proof on the stock wrist. SA marked bolt, barrel, receiver, and trigger guard assembly. The accessories are all still new in the military wrap (each package has been opened for inspection purposes only). The US M84 scope has crisp clear optics and has excellent blue finish. Scope adjusts properly. The original shipping box is present and has the matching serial of the rifle on the label.
