The rear sight on your garand has the WWII era lock bar.. not common! I'm still looking for one in perfect condition for mine. The NM rear sight on mine tends to gain a bit of elevation every few shots; finally wound up tightening out the adjuster to lock it. Now I gotta get into the tool bag to change elevation.
Beautiful springfield collection there, gator!
Yeah its a 1944 Garand, and has the lockbar sights and an uncut op rod.
When I have it rebuilt the guys doing it is going to put NM sites on but leave the Lockbar in place. (says its an easy mod).
I am not sure if it is all original, but I am pretty sure all the parts are SA.
The gunsmith is going to tell me if its rare, if it is I wont change much, if not a match grade barrel is going in and a NM trigger job too.
