Originally produced in November of 1942 and subsequently arsenal upgraded to the M1D Sniper configuration, a procedure more typically performed on Springfield-made M1 receivers. Rifles so converted were used as sniper weapons during Korea and the Vietnam War. Blade front and peep rear sights, "DRC" windage drum, "NI-C" elevation drum, Springfield bolt, relief cut operating rod and "S-A-8-52" dated barrel, and a "W.R.A." trigger guard, housing, safety and hammer. The stock has a circled "P" on the wrist and a "MRT/1 52" marked leather cheekpiece (no screws), green canvas sling and a checkered steel buttplate. The scope is serial numbered "36932" on the M84 data plate, with a metal sun shield and a rubber eyepiece. Also included with the rifle is a Hart M2 conical flash hider, canvas scope case, rear sight protector and cleaning tools.

Very fine as issued, with 98% plus of the arsenal refurbished parkerized finish, showing some light scratches, and light cycling wear. The re-oiled stock is fine with some scratches and dings and the cheekpiece shows staining and verdigris. The optics are clear, with the extension excellent. Mechanically excellent.
