The receiver is marked with the correct heel legend: 'U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY' and falls in the March 1945 production window, aligning it with late WWII manufacture. A boxed stock cartouche with three letters (illegible) is present, adding period-correct stock marking detail.
Operating is via the M1's long-stroke operating rod and rotating bolt, feeding from an internal 8-round en-bloc clip magazine. The rifle retains its standard M1 gas cylinder with gas-lock screw, bayonet lug, and a stacking swivel, with front and rear sling swivels installed.
Sighting equipment includes a protected blade front sight and the later-pattern rear aperture with protective ears and non-lockbar knobs. The 24-inch barrel provides the classic M1 sight radius and ballistic performance in .30-06.
The build combines a forged steel receiver with a matte grey Parkerized finish and a full-length hardwood stock matched to two-piece upper handguards. The stock configuration includes a rear sling swivel, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches for a traditional Garand fit.
