My name is Mark Culberson owner of IGY6 Munitions. I have acquired my first Springfield M1 Garand on a firearms trade but know nothing about my rifle except it is beautiful. I’m asking for help with identifying just what I have. I will include pictures in hopes others will help me with information. The backstory on this weapon I am told  is it was awarded to a serviceman back in 1956 for winning a military marksmanship competition. I have an album of pictures I can forward to anyone who might be willing to look at them. For some reason I am unable to upload even a single picture to this page. I thank you in advance for your input.

Your best bet is to upload the images to an image host website like https://imgur.com/, then to post them here you copy the links and paste it here in the post - it will show the pictures.

Gm Mark....

 

As they say, buy the gun, not the story.

 

Looked at the pics, feel free to call.  If you give the name of the competitor and match, it should be easy to find the award, if that's true.

It's basically a 4.8milliin serial SA M1 with a 53 barrel, that is NOT in the white.

Someone added a NM oprod...but all other parts do not appear to be NM (national match)

I would have to compare drawing numbers and would.like to see the trigger group and inside of oprod.

Nice M1 nonetheless and wonder what it guages.

But, again the 'story' is not the rifle...the metal and wood are....

Private sale market in NW NJ...1200ish...additional value plus/minus depends on guage and other parts, as well as drawing numbers and if it headspaces.

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
