i believe its a reising. probably a national match rifle rather than a military trainer. that ebony fore end, if original, is very rare

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

It is a “Leatherneck “ military training rifle that has been heavily sporterized. The bolt handle is sunk into the fore end and had a reciever sight and was not drilled and tapped for a scope. They were designed as a trainer for the Garand. I have had mine since 1990.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I forgot to get a pic of the butt stock, it has the hole and lid that holds a cleaning kit??? I think. It's missing.

Thanks for that link danny. Looks like his might be a hybrid of sorts. It's got the clip and looks like the 65, but sporterized and a scope with the front sight left on.
