    All original! That is a nice looking rifle! Did you get it from CMP?

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    All original, sort of, IMO restored to original. The big P in the circle says it is a replacement stock, the original stocks didn't have the big P. The Springfield cartouche is sanded down a lot from the arsenal new condition. I assume you know your bayonet isn't correct for the vintage. I point this out for our less savvy members. That one is the Mk V and is Korean vintage, you need an M1 bayonet on that baby.

    Don't get me wrong it is a very nice M1 rifle, anyone should be proud to own it. I enjoyed seeing it.

    Nice Garand! I've always like the lockbar rear sight.

    You may want to check on where you get your info as the Circle P is a proof mark and has absolutly nothing to do with a replacement stock
    I do agree , it does appear to be a restoration and not original

    Yes I got it from CMP,
    Yes I know the bayonet is a korean era, it actually belongs to my 1954 HRA M1 Garand..
    To have a WWII rifle with its origional low wear barrel is rare and also with lockbars....
