Over 6 years this rifle has been gone, since the court ordered sell off from divorce. Was finally able to reobtain it from the buyer today. Not the rarest or most valuable m1 I let go then, but was my very first. So sentimental value was very high. My 10/43 SA m1 with 90% original parts. Get more pics later. Happy as a school girl. Now with that and my Winchester coming together (original op rod needs repair), will be up to 2 M1's. Far shy of the 60 I had at once. But it's a start.
