What’s Included
- Springfield Armory M1 Garand rifle chambered in .30-06
This M1 Garand is built on a Springfield Armory receiver manufactured in 1942 and configured as a U.S. service-overhaul rifle. The barrel is a Springfield Armory replacement marked SA 6535448 10-65, a postwar component commonly installed during arsenal maintenance programs. The rear sight uses the later non–lock-bar adjustment knobs.
It wears a parkerized gray-green phosphate finish over its steel receiver and components, paired with walnut furniture. The stock features a steel buttplate with trapdoor, and the handguards are the traditional two-piece walnut pattern.
Sighting equipment is the standard military iron setup: a winged front blade integral to the gas cylinder and a rear aperture with protective wings, adjustable for windage and elevation. The rifle maintains the classic open-top receiver with 8-round en‑bloc clip feed.
Operation is the Garand's gas-operated, long-stroke piston system with a 24 in barrel. A front sling swivel is fitted to the gas cylinder; the stacking swivel is present on the lower band. A rear sling swivel is present at the butt, and the length of pull measures 13.0 in.
Markings include a P proof on the barrel, small inspector stamps, and a stock belly stamp that matches the receiver, aligning with its documented service-overhaul character and Springfield Armory components.
