Very nice WWII workhorse, I've noticed that you've got the Coltwood stocks on instead of its original ones.
Those brown checkered "Coltwood" plastic stocks with the rampant colt logo molded in unfortunatly tend to shrink, you'll sometimes see COLTs from the '50s and '60s with these stocks cracking, I had them once and they were a pain in the neck.
