    October 8th 1943 Winchester M1 Garand

    [QUOTE=2k05gt;299843]This WWII Rifle is one of my favorites, Like most WWII Rifles it's a (RIA) Rock Island Arsenal rebuild, WWII Receiver, Trigger and rear sights all Winchester (WRA) correct for the October 1943. Unfortunately the Stock, Barrel, Gas Cylinder and Op-Rod are Springfield but the rest of the rifle is 1943 Winchester.

    The Ammo, Coins and Lucky strike pack are all 1943.











    WRA Trigger Guard


    100% WRA Lockbar Rear Sights..




    What is strange is that the butt plate is WRA on a Springfield stock..

    do you collect or sell or a museum? I only ask because of the glass case.

    yes I also noticed the steel pennies.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    I collect, it's my own personal museum. I collect all the items for the period the rifle was made to set the mood so to speak.

    The case or coffee table, I made to me a safe but allow me to display my collectibles. I have small children in the home and I want to keep them
    them locked up for obvious reasons.

    The glass top is actually 1/2 inch Poly-carbonate.

    Here are some pictures of the table
