Built by Springfield Armory in 1944, this M1 Garand represents the WWII production period and carries the correct receiver heel legend "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY." It has the classic Parkerized steel finish and U.S. hardwood furniture associated with service rifles of the era.
The barrel is a Springfield Armory replacement marked S-A 10-51, indicating a post-war arsenal rebarrel. The bolt is a post-war Springfield Armory unit marked 6528287-SA -2, consistent with an arsenal upgrade path that kept these rifles in serviceable condition after WWII.
It retains key military features including the gas cylinder with bayonet lug, stacking swivel, and front sling swivel. The internal en-bloc system remains in place, and the rifle uses standard 8-round clips characteristic of the platform.
Sighting equipment is period-correct: a wing-protected front post and an aperture rear sight with windage and elevation drums, offering precise adjustments. The hardwood stock is full-length, paired with two-piece upper handguards, and the length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Chambered in .30-06 with a 24-inch barrel, this gas-operated, semi-automatic, rotating-bolt rifle reflects its U.S. origin and WWII lineage while showing the documented post-war Springfield Armory updates.
