International Harvester M1 Garand CMP .30-06 Semi-Automatic Rifle, 24 in Barrel, 1954 Evansville Production
This International Harvester M1 Garand is a 1954 Evansville production rifle with CMP provenance, identified by the boxed eagle "CMP" cartouche on the stock. It features the correct receiver heel legend "U.S. RIFLE CAL .30 M1 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER" and receiver drawing "D6528287 IHC A5," along with a Parkerized finish and GI hardwood furniture. Built around the 24-inch barrel and classic 8-round en-bloc clip system, it uses the post-war T105-style click-adjustable aperture rear sight. International Harvester examples are scarcer than typical Springfield Armory rifles and are sought by manufacturer-focused collectors.

Manufactured by International Harvester in 1954, this M1 Garand carries desirable maker-specific traits and CMP custody markings. The boxed eagle "CMP" cartouche on the stock indicates CMP stocking, adding clear provenance to the rifle.
The receiver heel is marked "U.S. RIFLE CAL .30 M1 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER," and the receiver drawing/heat-lot is "D6528287 IHC A5." The Parkerized manganese-phosphate finish provides the correct service appearance across the steel receiver and major components.
Its gas-operated, semi-automatic system with rotating bolt is paired with the standard 24-inch barrel and 8-round en-bloc clip feed, including automatic clip ejection. Sighting is via the T105-style post-war aperture rear with click-adjustable windage and elevation, matched to a wing-protected front post.
Furniture consists of a GI hardwood stock with semi-pistol-grip and two-piece hardwood handguards. A checkered steel buttplate with trapdoor provides storage for a cleaning kit, and the rifle retains the gas cylinder with stacking and front sling swivels. Length of pull is 13.5 inches.
