If you wish to supply the serial number,I can look up the date of manufacture for you.The serial numbers for the Springfield trapdoor rifles and carbines are in the general domain for people to find.
what year was my Winchester M1 carbine serial number 1210906 manufactured
made in 1874. check it out but I think that is what is called a pre-custer carbine and it's value is higher. check it out at: trapdoorcollector.com if I'm right he will make you an offer...............
We need to know if it is a Garand or carbine. A carbine is loaded from the bottom and a Garand is loaded from the top.If your rifle is a Springfield M-1 Garand rifle,then the serial number indicates that it was manufactured in the year 1942.
Your Springfield M-1 Garand was made at springfield in 1944 with the serial number that you provided.
You need to repost, give the model and caliber, and the complete serial number. N is not a serial number, and there is more than one Springfield.
