Manufactured at Springfield Armory in May 1944, this M1 Garand is a CMP Service Grade rifle, reflecting a correct postwar rebuild with mixed USGI components. The receiver’s WWII date places it squarely in the wartime production run, while the CMP Service Grade provenance explains the carefully selected, non-matching parts used in the rebuild.
The rifle was arsenal-updated with a Springfield Armory barrel dated 1947 and a T105E1 micrometer rear sight with the 2–12 elevation drum. Paired with the winged front post, the sighting setup is a classic postwar configuration recognized for precise, repeatable adjustments.
Key USGI components include a National Match-marked operating rod, a 1942 bolt, and a 1942 trigger assembly. This mix underscores the rifle’s CMP Service Grade status while retaining desirable Springfield parts throughout.
The full-length walnut stock and matching handguards present the circled "P" proof on the grip and a white painted rack number on the buttstock near the toe. Hardware details include a checkered steel buttplate with trap, integral bayonet lug, and both front sling and stacking swivels. The installed M1907-style leather sling complements the rifle’s period setup.
Construction is parkerized steel with a 24-inch barrel and a gas-operated, semi-automatic M1 action. Chambered in .30-06 with an 8-round en-bloc system, it measures a 14.0-inch length of pull. Built in the United States during the WWII era and updated postwar, it presents as a solid, collectible Service Grade example from CMP.
