I had to have one of these. Back in 1951-55 I shot on the college ROTC rifle team. For the first three years we had Springfield M2s, for the last year we got 513 Ts. They wre amazingly accurate, although at the time I liked the stock on the Springfield because it fit my cheek better. My curent one has the post front sight, although I think some were issued with the Lyman 17 globe front sight. I didn't know these things had a coded date stamp on them: I'll have to give mine the once over.
