Springfield Armory M1 Garand .30-06 Semi-Auto Rifle, WWII 1944 Receiver with 12-54 SA Barrel, Parkerized, USGI Walnut, 24 in. Barrel, 8-Round En-Bloc
This Springfield Armory M1 Garand pairs a WWII-era 1944 receiver with a Springfield Armory replacement barrel dated December 1954, reflecting typical U.S. arsenal overhaul practices. It retains its parkerized finish, U.S. GI walnut furniture, and standard iron sights, and it comes with a khaki web sling installed. The receiver and barrel markings, along with the configuration, align with a correct service-grade rebuild rather than a sniper or National Match variant.

What's Included
- Khaki web sling (installed)
The receiver heel is marked "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY." The barrel is marked "SA F6535448 12 54 MD 45," identifying a Springfield Armory replacement barrel dated December 1954, with inspection/proof stamping present. This timing and configuration are consistent with postwar U.S. arsenal maintenance of WWII-production rifles.
Configuration is standard service pattern: 24-inch barrel; gas-operated, rotating-bolt action with the exposed operating rod; and a parkerized steel receiver. Feeding is via the eight-round en-bloc clip system. The gas cylinder carries the front sling swivel and a stacking swivel; the rear sling swivel is mounted on the buttstock.
Furniture is U.S. GI walnut, including the straight-comb stock with a pistol-grip profile and two walnut handguards. A steel trapdoor buttplate provides internal storage for a cleaning kit. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Sighting equipment is the correct iron setup: a wing-protected front blade and an aperture rear sight with windage and elevation knobs. No scope base pads or barrel blocks are observed, and no NM markings are present, indicating this is not an M1C/M1D sniper configuration and not a National Match rifle.
Made in the United States during the WWII era, this M1 Garand reflects a typical service rifle that later received a mid-1950s Springfield Armory barrel during overhaul, preserving the classic handling characteristics and manual of arms associated with the platform.
