The top one is a CMP Service Grade Remington "Springfield"1903A3. The receiver was manufactured in April 1943 and it has a 1943 barrel on it with a .5 Muzzle and 1 Throat reading. It has an older stock with a a faint ordnance wheel and FJA (Frank J. Atwood) cartouche and a "P" stamp on underside of stock.
The next one down is a CMP Service Grade Springfield Armory. The receiver SA receiver is a November 1943 with a SA 1943 barrel with a 1 Muzzle and 2 Throat readings and it came with a Springfield bolt but was changed out for a Harrington-Richardson bolt by a retired Fulton Armory gunsmith which he said fit better. The stock is not new, and is fairly dinged up with no cartouches. The trigger guard is an earlier milled one. This one has been given a competition trigger job.
The next one down is a CMP Service Grade Springfield Armory. The SA receiver is a May 1944 with a SA 1955 barrel, new stock, SA Bolt and a 1 Muzzle and 2 Throat readings. The trigger guard is an early WWII milled one.
The bottom one came in today. It is a CMP Rack Special Springfield Armory. The SA receiver is a February 1943 with a brand new Criterion barrel (2/21) 0 Muzzle and 0 Throat readings, new stock, an International Harvester Corporation bolt and a late WWII stamped trigger guard. It's essentially a new 1943 Garand.
I have Turner Saddlery M1907 leather slings ordered for all four but I guess they are backed up on their orders.
The safe is full...as much as I want a 1942 Garand, I simply don't have room for it.
Although I have AR's, Glocks, and all the modern stuff, these old girls are what I love - they have character an AR/AK will never have - the stories they could tell.
