I just bought a garand produced at the springfield factory.
How do I now, how old he is?
Many thanx, niro, from the netherlands.

This may help you in identifying the year:

I'm assuming you mean an original Garand, becuase the commercial arms company now known as Springfield Armory makes new production Garands as well.

Dutch, right? Anyone able to translate? Welcome to gunandgame!

mail me even ik heb een lijst met productie data van de garand. en een site waar je misschien kunt zien waarvan de garand is geweest.

hmm...I tried one of those online translators (they suck) but this is what it gave me:

Me e-mail have just I a list with production data of the garand. and a site which you see can perhaps of which the garand been is.

now go figure

If you give me the serial number I can tell you the period it was built. RIck B

or you can rack back the op rod, and look in the op rod slot in the stock. there should be a date on the barel.

Barrel date means nothing if it was rebarelled as many or most were. The serial # is going to be on a production date which can be found close to in Scott Duffs book's or by Ed CLancy's papers which is actual arsenal files. Hope this helps. RIck B
