brucin 923 Posted August 9, 2023 I have my eye on a very odd Garand. It is chambered in .308, uses a detachable magazine, and has a scope mounted on it. I did some research and I think it's a reissue by Springfield armory Inc from circa 1982. The only thing throwing me off is the serial # 1773994. Everything I've read say the reissue models serial #'s start with 7xxxx. The receiver is stamped US Rifle CAL 30 M1 Springfield Armory 1773994 Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Scorpio64 5,168 Posted August 9, 2023 It's probably one of them Eye Talian Garands made by Beretta, or someone gave it the Beretta treatment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious 138 Posted August 10, 2023 Could be a creation from this guy: https://garandguy.com/ Years ago he had a bunch of those BM style garands built up on his site. Not 100% sure, but if not from him probably something similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

15636215 454 Posted August 25, 2023 Could be a welded receiver. Serial # is USGI. But, a reweld I would not trust. I would have to see clear take down pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
