WINCHESTER GARAND PRE-WWII RARE COLLECTOR

I opine this to be the finest Winchester Garand currently available for sale. The 6 figure serial number gives this pre-WWII rifle date of Nov. 1941. It has the proper long channel WIN stock that I have cleaned up [sweated out dents, filled cuts and preserved what remained of the cartouche [proper for date] and oiled back original color. You will note that the stock had some prior minor repair [brass pins] Having gone through an arsenal repair, the butt has been drilled out to two equal size chambers for cleaning kit etc.. What I find amazing is that most or the major parts are Win- even the barrel. Using CMP gauges, the barrel gauges as new- TE [less than] 1/ MW 0. By luck arsenal must have been changed out with a Win.. The barrel has the WIN proof, a "witness line" on bottom and the drawing number of D35448WRA. The op rode is WRA correct #1A.. The op spring has the WIN rounded end. The trigger housing and all visible parts are WRA. The gas cylinder is WIN[ see rough texture, round top]. Gas cylinder lock is type 1 [OK]. I noticed the follower and gas cylinder lock screw to be a WIN 13 style. The rear sight was changed from the original LH flush nut short pinion style and the rear hand guard has a type 2 instead of a type 1. If interested, I can send photos of all of this stuff.
