Nice gun,
OH, just a heads up, the bullet goes in the other end, ok?

For under 600$ even it turns out to be a welded receiver you can part it out and make money.
Nice looking gun. I like the zinc park color. Don't see that much these days.
Looks like a post war rebuild. I do not have details memorized.
As far as the stock fit. It does look a little odd. How is the lock up on the trigger latch?
Any markings on the stock? Look carefully for "blue sky" import stamp on the barrel. They can be very faint. No matter a decent looking unit and if it shoots and can hold the black ring you got a deal.
Now its time to get personal with your new M1

This was bought at a gun shop. Traded some non used items in mostly reloading stuff.

Only marking on barrel is an Arlington Ord mark near the reciever end. Havent seen and other marks yet.
imported by Arlington ordnance. check receiver closely. They came from Korea in the 90s I think.
As whole rifles, parts kits I have no idea.
They had ones they "up graded" with new barrels and better stocks? Also offered 308" might want to check that also.
if your having any doubts I will give you what you paid for it.

Ok so took it down and looked it over. Gas tube is very tight. Passes the op-rod test. The only info im finding using the sn and draw numbers, it appears both numbers are springfield and both from april 1940. One site has my draw number ending at 35000 and the next number starting with sn 35001. I dont see any obvious cut/ weld marks on it. Ill post pics in a few of the reciever.
What's the barrel date?
Since it is a Korea import, it seems like it would be less likely to be a reweld. Here is a guide to what to look for on a reweld http://fulton-armory.com/faqs/M1G-FAQs/Weld.htm
Very nice deal.
