      My First M1 any help would be great.

      A CMP rifle wasn't really out of reach, just a longer wait time. And when I saw this rifle all I can think of is how much work it was going to need. But then thought somebody has to bring it back to its former glory so why not me, it wasn't really a horrible price. I'll get great satisfaction of...

      I can tell you that if it has to be counter-bored all the way to that gas port the barrel is most definitely getting replaced. As far as I can see by eye it would have to be bored .250 or so deep ( no where near the gas port). It is not the original 1943 Springfield barrel anyhow, it was...

      $900 probably too much, but I'm going to take things slow have it evaluated. And shoot the barrel as is, I may counterbore the muzzle to improve some of the accuracy. Unfortunately I don't belong to any clubs that are CMP affiliated. So a CMP rifle is out of reach at the moment. It did come with...

      Not a bad deal, the only thing is that the barrel has been finished reamed. I'm not sure I want to take a chance that it will headspace with my bolt.

      I most certainly am not rushing to shoot the rifle before a proper looking over, I doubt the pawn shop took the time nor spent the money on having it looked at. And thank you so much for the information I am eager to learn everything I can about working on the great peace of history.

      I'll have to email him and see if he would look at my rifle.

      Yes criterion barrels are chamber reamed .010 short so you can headspace your bolt to the Go gauge.

      Yeah I'd go Criterion but I believe they are on backorder.

      Well the muzzle erosion looks pretty bad by eye, I'll more then likely replace the barrel. I considering doing the work myself, I'm handy enough to make my own barrel vice and action wrench.

      Thanks Ponder, I ran across Charlie's website as well and was considering contacting him. This rifle is in rough shape as far as I can tell it will need a new barrel for sure. 303 Brit with a .3115 pill and the second is a .300 black with .308.......

      Thanks for the suggestion, I registered for the CMP civilian marksmanship program web forum but I'm not allowed to post questions. On a side note there aren't any other markings on the stock at all. The only place I haven't looked yet is under the but plate. I did take some pictures of the...
