My new acquisition: Winchester M1D

[ASKJesse]

I will post more pictures and range report, once I get some clips and M2 ammo.

It says Winchester... And it looks like an M1D. With a gorgeous scope and a nicely patinated leather cheek piece...

Pant Pant Pant...

Nice buy and lovely rifle! Range report and more pictures anticipated!

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[USMC mustang]

Wow, nice find, where did you find that?

 

[ASKJesse]

A gentleman was selling it locally. It's not CMP documented but, the overall condition of the rifle and age signs/patina on the cheek rest eyeholes, kinda wanna make me fork over the $25 and have them research it for me.

 

[aur0ra145]

How is the bore on that? I just got my first Garand, and the addiction is quickly taking me over.

 

[Sniper Uncle]

Beautiful piece. I have to admit to being a little jealous. My first Garand showed up at my house a few weeks ago, and what is a man to do? I had to let the poor thing in, and give it shelter-----and use it, of course. I love it. I had a chance at a Springfield M-1D, but I didn't have the current cash.
Enjoy.

 

[kraigWY]

Great rifle, brings back memories of when I use to conduct sniper schools using M1C/D's.

Those rifles shoot better then most people give them credit, even with the 2.2 M84 scopes. Learn to use them and it's note difficult to get constant hits on the E targets up to 900 yards.

We used mostly M72 match ammo though.

 

[BasraBoy]

Very, very nice! Congrats on a great find!

 

[McCrazy]

Very nice Garand. I have been wanting an M-1C or M-1D for a long time.

 

[Kasumi]

One thing you can look at to confirm is the Drawing number on the barrel, if its a D7312555 its a M1D, the barrel date looks correct for a M1 D, congrats on a nice find. Report back when you get some ammo.

 

[Sniper Uncle]

BTW, if you reload, Hornady has a section in their manual for the M-1 Garand. I talked with them, and their loads are for match/competition ammo. Quite a few loads in three different weights.

 

[dm1779]

Very Nice! Been looking at the CMP site at the C and D models for a while now.. if only the budget would allow for it

 

[cattle buyer]

A+ 1 , great find as Im anything Winchester and love the D snipers. love that empty clip,last shot sound....

 

[ASKJesse]

I put rounds down range at my local 50yd indoor facility.

The lower two, 3 round groups were at 25yds with iron sights. The center one, is 25yds, with the optic. The highest group was fired at 50yds, with the optic.
I was using ATK/Federal CMP3006N cartridges. I'm still waiting to hear back from them, about the trajectory.

I know that it is really close to be shooting with it but, I wanted to make sure it printed on paper. Eventually, I'll get outside and put it through its paces.

 

[downhill]

Great looking M1D. These things are a blast to shoot. Just something about shouldering an old American war horse. I'd go ahead with the research.

 

[ASKJesse]

Update!
The drawing number, is D731555 A162B.
So, my next investment/bet, will be $25.00 to the CMP for documentation.

 

[nightwolf0215]

Nice! I have been wanting to grab one of these. Beautiful Rifle. I heard they have an issue with flyer? Or was it the zfk55..
