My British Proofed SA 12 41. As far as I know it's all correct. I bought it for my first M1 and to shoot but I don't shoot it. I ended up buying others for that. Warning BIG pictures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/topside_recvr11.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/top_handgd10.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/rightside17.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/proofs63.jpg There's what looks like a small spot of red paint below (if pointed up) the sling swivel on the buttstock in this picture. I didn't even notice it until someone else pointed it out in the picture and we looked at the stock. That was pretty neat to find. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/leftforarm04.jpg Looks like there was a buttstock marking of some type at one time (referring to the white paint looking stuff). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/leftbuttstk08.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/fullrightside15.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/cartouche95.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/cartouche70.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/bottomrcvr38.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/barrel_end43.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/95b44c0a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/907a904c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Maxima2/M1%20Garand/Dsc01312.jpg
