My father inlaw has an M1 gerand made by IHC and it has a Marlin barrel. He's wanting to sell it and I was wondering how I could tell if it was all original parts. He said that they put Marlin barrels on them when they first made them in 1953 because the other barrels they used where crap. The thing looks like it's never been shot. He had a guy look at it and said it still had the original grease in it. I was wanting to know if the #s on the top of the bolt should match the #s on the rear of the rifle on the frame? Thanks
