My M1 Garand arrived today from CMP. I work the night shift, but when I got home, I couldn't get to sleep until the FedEx truck arrived. It is a SG HRA. As far as I can tell, the receiver is from 1953-54 and the barrell is stamped 7-54, also HRA. So it looks like I got an original barrell. Stock looks to be original as well, but I cannot tell. What other markings should I be looking for? I would like to get as much history as I can about this gun. BTW, the wife was not too thrilled, but when I told her it was the same typed of rifle carried by her father on D-Day, she was a little less perturbed. Here are a few pictures.
