This M1 Garand follows the classic pattern designed by John C. Garand and adopted by the U.S. in 1936. It uses a gas-operated, closed-rotating-bolt action with a right-side operating rod and the internal 8-round en-bloc clip system. Bayonet lug is integral to the gas cylinder, consistent with wartime configuration.
The rifle’s furniture consists of a walnut stock with separate front and rear walnut handguards and an oil finish. A steel butt-plate, stacking swivel, and sling swivels are present, reflecting standard military fittings of the period.
Sighting equipment is the correct military iron setup: a wing-protected front post and a rear aperture with windage and elevation drums. The metal shows a parkerized gray-green finish, a typical military protective finish for this era.
