Configured as a gas-operated, semi-automatic M1 platform rifle, this example retains the U.S. GI pattern layout with a full-length hardwood stock and two-piece upper handguards. The length of pull is listed at 13.0, consistent with the standard full-size handling the Garand is known for.
The receiver is identified as a 1944 manufacture, with the provided receiver date claim placing it in October 1944 based on serial tables. The barrel marking S-A-5-49 indicates a Springfield Armory barrel dated May 1949, reflecting a later replacement or rebuild-era component relative to the receiver.
Iron sights are in the traditional M1 arrangement, with a wing-protected post front sight on the gas-cylinder/front-sight assembly and an adjustable aperture rear sight with protective ears and windage/elevation knobs. The rifle is finished in a matte military-style finish and is marked with U.S. RIFLE, CAL. 30 M1 and SPRINGFIELD ARMORY, along with the S-A-5-49 barrel marking.
This rifle uses the internal magazine with an 8-round en-bloc clip feed system and is listed with an 8+1 capacity. It also includes U.S. GI-pattern external hardware such as front sling attachment points and stacking swivel hardware, and it shows no visible M1C/M1D sniper or offset mount hardware.
