Heres a quick rushed look. So far nothing great or anything bad.
GI wood for what thats worth.
Feb 1944 serial # range
HRA 5-55 barrel
Bolt looks new
Barrel is about what I have seen in most CMP M1s carbon and copper fouled to death , crown is good CMP gives it a 2&3 for and Throat and muzzle erosion , My gauge agrees.
Bolt looks like NOS 1942 SA
OpRid looks rebuilt/refinished and 1942 era also
Dry fire trigger feels good.
handguard is a little snug
PLAN: clean and inspect and test fire then see what I can do to make it “better” for now Im using some 1972 HXP for testing
Testing will be done slow fire from a lead sled
Heres a rushed first look. I ment to say forged trigger guard. My phone is not the best for video and for what ever reason I cant get rid of the "bars" on the side like I used to ?

The 1st Nasty Patch Has a sticker in the stock and the stock is stamped with matching serial number sticker is dated 1970 plus elevation and windage , lets see how close it is come testing. 8 up and 1+?
looks like a Danish/Norway return? Maybe I will do a 6.5 conversion!
