http://public.fotki.com/ptrthgr8/us_firearms/54_hra_garand/ This M1 Garand was manufactured by the Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. of Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1953 or 1954 (per the S/N range). Post-WW2 production records aren't quite as extensive as those from WW2, so it's a little harder to accurately determine the exact date of production. However, the barrel is dated March 1954 and is also made by the H&R Arms Co, so it's very likely this is the original barrel. HRA Garands are generally the most well-made Garands, from a machining perspective, since the Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. had been in the business of making rather nice sporting firearms for the civilian market long before they ever received the government contract to make M1 Garands during the Korean War. This is definitely a nice rifle. :) http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/ptrthgr8/us_firearms/54_hra_garand/ http://public.fotki.com/ptrthgr8/us_firearms/54_hra_garand/54_hra_butt_967.html 54 HRA butt 967
