Springfield Armory USMC 1952 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with USMC MC-1 Type G&H Mount and Second Pattern Kollmorgen Sniper Scope
Description: Desirable Korean War Era U.S. Springfield Armory USMC 1952 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with USMC MC-1 Type G&H Mount and Second Pattern Kollmorgen Sniper Scope Manufacturer: Springfield Armory U.S. Model: M1C Type: Rifle Gauge: 30-06 Barrel: 22 inch round Finish: parkerized Grip: Stock: walnut Class: Curio & Relic Long Gun Cal l(859)801-8537 Description: This is a desirable example of a late WWII Springfield Armory M1C sniper rifle that was refurbished for Korea that is fitted with a second pattern Stith-Kollmorgen MC-1 USMC sniper scope with the larger Griffin & Howe scope mount. The Marines designated it as the USMC 1952 sniper rifle (see Canfield's "The M1 Garand Rifle," page 528). This is a late WWII rifle that was rebuilt for Korea which has a mix of WWII and later post-war SA marked parts. The current barrel marked: "SA 6535448 3-53 195C" with the breech in the white. Some of the various other parts are all marked as follows: late production operating rod marked "D6535382-SA", bolt marked "D28287-12-SA", trigger housing marked "D28290-1-SA", hammer "C46008-5 SA", unmarked safety, unmarked milled trigger guard, post-war DRC marked rear sight assembly, unmarked clip guide. It has the post-war wide base gas cylinder, T-37 flash hider and a four slot gas plug, that is stamped "P/O". The receiver is fitted with a parkerized G&H type scope base (bracket) that is numbered on the underside with "3374567". The base is correctly held on with three screws and two taper pins. As noted, this rifle is fitted with the larger, G&H scope mount that has the later style flat locking levers, that is fitted with the second pattern Stith/Kollmorgen 4x power MC-1 sniper scope. The scope is roll-marked on the real eye-piece with: "TELESCOPE 4XD MC-1/KOLLMORGEN OPTICAL CORP." and it has the standard fine cross-hair reticle. The telescope comes with a set of rubber lens covers marked, "Storm-Queen". The rifle is fitted with an original WWII walnut stock and handguard set, with the stock stamped on the left side with a boxed "S.A" cartouche and a circled "P" firing proof in the pistol grip area. Nearly all of the M1C sniper rifles were rebuilt by Springfield Armory or other Ordnance facilities during the Korean Conflict, and most were destroyed by the Army during the 1980s. This rifle, along with 10-15 other USMC 1952 Sniper Rifles, came from the USMC Museum at Quantico, VA in the late 1960s as part of a trade/transfer arrangement with Laurence Smith from Cabin John, Maryland. Rating Definition: Very fine as Springfield Arsenal rebuilt with 98% of the parkerized finish remaining overall showing only minor handling marks and edge wear. The buttstock and handguards are all in very fine condition overall with all three components having a light brown color with the stock having a clear distinct cartouche and firing proof. The buttstock does show some minor pressure dings in the pistol grip area and underside of the stock. The scope mount and Kollmorgen scope both retain 98% of their respective finishes and the scope has clear sharp optics. Buyer pays shippig and insurance. I will ship from an FFL to your FFL or C&R. Call to make an offer, Thanks for looking. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Rifle Caliber: .30-06 Springfield |
