What’s Included
- Springfield Armory M1 Garand rifle
This rifle reflects WWII Springfield Armory production in 1944, with the receiver serial placing it in January of that year. It is built around a forged, machined steel receiver and a parkerized finish consistent with U.S. service arms of the period. The .30-06 chambering and semi-automatic operation define the M1’s role and performance.
It retains the standard M1 Garand configuration: a 24 in barrel, 8-round en-bloc clip feed, and the standard gas cylinder with lock screw. The rear sight is the locking-bar aperture type with windage and elevation drums paired to a winged front blade on the gas cylinder.
The action is gas-operated with a long-stroke piston and a right-side charging handle. The system is designed to run the .30-06 service cartridge, maintaining the classic handling and manual of arms associated with the platform.
The wood stock has been refinished with a high-gloss topcoat. Furniture includes front and rear wooden handguards, a checkered steel buttplate with trap door, sling swivels, and a stacking swivel. Length of pull measures 13.0 in.
