Originally manufactured in June 1944 and later updated into M1D configuration. The Springfield M1D barrel is dated "[?]-52", the drawing number hidden under the top wood as is correct for production prior to November 1952.

Crisp, bright bore. ME of approximately 1. TE of approximately 2.5, Fine mechanics. Clear optics. One of the turret covers appears to be a replacement. A very handsome M1D sniper.
