The receiver is a Springfield Armory WWII unit dated April 1942 by serial range, with the heel marked 'U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY'. It wears a parkerized matte gray/green phosphate finish consistent with M1 production practices and presents the correct U.S. martial character.
The barrel is a Criterion (CBI) 24-inch replacement marked 'CBI 6535448 1-10 05/23' and features a 1:10 right-hand twist. This recent CBI barrel complements the platform while maintaining correct .30-06 chambering and standard Garand profile.
Furniture consists of a CMP walnut stock with a boxed 'CMP' cartouche and matching walnut handguards with an oil finish. The standard M1 Garand gas cylinder and front sight assembly are present, along with the gas cylinder lock and lock screw, stacking swivel, and sling swivels.
Sighting is traditional: a wing-protected front post and a fully adjustable rear aperture with windage and elevation drums. Operation is the standard M1 gas-operated, semi-automatic system feeding from an internal 8-round en-bloc clip-fed magazine.
