My new 1944 M1C Sniper!

[usnmars 136]

Here are some pics for my newly acquired M1c from the CMP trip on Saturday. It was made in December of 1944 and went through a rebuild for Korea. All parts are correct other than the sights(lockbars are on order). I am missing an original M1c Griffin & Howe mount, so until I either win the lottery or come across a screaming deal I am using a commercial Griffin & Howe mount. I have 7/8" rings on order so until they come in and I can put my M82 scope on, a weaver k3 is lookin good. I have an original 1907 sling for display purposes but since I am going shooting tomorrow to break it in I just put on a repro. Even the cheek pad is a K-line! So here are some pics.

I gotta ask what with that muzzle? very nice, never seen anything like it...

It is called a M2 Hart Flash Hider. It's an extremely primitive flash hider that just clips on the end of the barrel. It's ugly and annoying when you shoot, but it's original.

I don't know a lot about M1's, nonetheless most surplus guns, but that thing is sweet!
