Serial number 5861332 places this rifle squarely in Springfield Armory’s final production run, a period sought after for its improved machining and historical significance as the company wound down M1 manufacture.
The receiver and 24" carbon-steel barrel retain their original parkerized finish, complemented by a standard gas cylinder with bayonet lug. The gas-operated action feeds from the classic 8-round en-bloc clip, preserving the rifle’s World War II–era handling characteristics.
Furniture consists of a matching walnut stock and handguards, highlighted by eye-catching tiger-stripe figure and rack number 3892 on the butt. The 13" length of pull delivers the familiar Garand shouldering feel.
