This rifle was originally one of the approximately 7,900 M1C Sniper Rifles manufactured by the SA from January-December 1945. The WWII production M1C rifles fall generally within the 3,250,000 - 3,790,000 serial number range. This rifle was rebuilt by Springfield Armory during the Korean War. Following the Korean War the Marine Corps adopted the 4X Kollmorgen MC-1 telescopic sight with a larger Griffin & Howe mount and one-inch rings for use on the M1C sniper rifles. The Marines designated these rifles as the "1952 Sniper Rifle" and issued them is limited numbers from c.1954-1967. Scope is marked '4X DOUBLE SMITH MOUNTS' over 'KOLLMORGEN OPTICAL CORP'. The letters/numbers 'MC 1196' are also hand etched on the side of the scope. The First Style MC-1 mount is parkerized and has distinctive angular locking levers. The top of the base is roll stamped "FSN1240-647-1107 MOUNT TELESCOPE GRIFFIN & HOWE'. The receiver mount has the matching serial number of the rifle on the underside. Stock is in excellent condition and has late-war Springfield inspection cartouch. Barrel is dated to August of 1951. Minty bore, ME & TE are both under 2. Comes with canvas sling.Specifications
