Manufactured in March of 1945, this rifle was later arsenal rebuilt/overhauled. Blade front and peep rear sights, with "DRC" windage drum, "HS S" elevation drum, and an "8 53" Line Machine barrel bearing a number of small proofs ("T", "P", Defense Acceptance, etc.) on the chamber. Fitted with an IHC bolt, SA trigger housing and hammer, and a RA operating rod, which is relief cut and "NM" marked. No markings are present inside the stock or inside the floor plate. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock, with an uncircled "P" on the wrist, "041" on the left side, and a checkered steel buttplate. Included with the rifle is an AFH parade bayonet, 14 inches overall with a 9 1/2 inch blade, polished fittings, and a white cloth covered sheath.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished, with 98% plus parkerized finish, showing some mild handling marks and edge wear overall, along with some areas of roughness and pitting on the buttplate. The stock is fine, with a small area of mended chipping on the right side near the floor plate and a few light handling marks overall. The bayonet is fair with pitting and wear, and the sheath shows some stains. Mechanically excellent.
