The receiver heel is marked "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1" over "WINCHESTER," confirming Winchester Repeating Arms manufacture during the WWII era. USGI inspection markings and a P proof are present, aligning with its service history and subsequent arsenal work.
A USGI barrel dated 4-54 indicates a postwar rebarrel, while the NM-stamped gas cylinder and the later non–lock-bar micrometer rear sight reflect standard U.S. military configuration updates. The sight setup provides windage and elevation adjustment via knurled knobs, paired with a protected front post.
The rifle retains the classic M1 profile: a forged steel receiver with a Parkerized finish, a 24-inch .30-06 barrel, and the 8-round en-bloc clip system. The Parkerizing shows a lighter tone on the receiver and buttplate compared with the barrel and gas system components.
Walnut furniture includes the stock and handguards, sling swivels, and a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor compartment. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches, maintaining the standard Garand handling characteristics.
