M1D Sniper Rifle SA 4 digit 7536

M1D Sniper rifle built on a 4 digit Springfield Armory receiver. Serial number 7536 was manufactured in January of 1939. This rifle is a service grade with the 1-52 SA M1D barrel gauging 2 at the muzzle and 4+ at the throat with a great bore. 

M1D sniper rifles were built on receivers as the need arose, since the barrel is the only sniper specific part. All M1D rifles are a mix of parts as a result of this rebuild process, and this rifle is no exception. This rifle has the following parts: 

6535382-SA op rod, 6528287-SA bolt with a Z-3 heat lot, SA stamped post war bullet guide, stamped long fork follower rod, SA 11 follower, SA follower arm, post war SA op rod catch. 

6528290-HRA-N trigger housing, HRA hammer, HRA SA safety.

Post war gas cylinder and front sight, high hump lock and P àlock screw. T105E1 rear sight with DRC windage knob with NHC pinion. 

Late ½” DAS HRA stock.No cheekpad screw holes in stock. Front handguard appears to be post war SA, and rear handguard is typical M1D.  

This is a very nice example of an M1D sniper rifle built on an uncommon receiver, and would make an excellent addition to any collection. Please see all pictures for details before bidding.
