Sold for: $1,250
Description
This Springfield Armory M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield and configured for military service. The rifle features a 24-inch barrel with a Springfield Armory production date of December 1955. The metal surfaces are finished in military-grade Parkerizing, and the receiver heel is clearly stamped with the manufacturer information and serial number: U.S. RIFLE / CAL .30 M1 / SPRINGFIELD / ARMORY / 5950754. Visible through the operating rod channel, the barrel is marked SA F6535448 12 55 A224B and bears a P proof mark along with a small Department of Defense eagle-and-stars inspection stamp. The rifle is fitted with a walnut wood stock and handguards featuring a boxed RA-P arsenal rebuild stamp from the Raritan Arsenal on the left side and a circled P proof mark on the pistol grip. Sights consist of a standard adjustable rear aperture and a wing-guarded front post. The walnut stock terminates in a checkered metal buttplate with a trapdoor for storage of a cleaning kit. Included with the rifle is a 2021 inspection hangtag noting a muzzle reading of 2+ and a throat reading of 2+, designating the firearm as Field grade. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal components retain a significant amount of the Parkerized finish with expected thinning on the gas cylinder, bolt, and high-contact edges consistent with service use. The walnut stock and handguards exhibit various service-related dings, scratches, and minor compressions, though the arsenal markings remain legible. The bore was not internally inspected, but contemporary armorer measurements of 2+ at the muzzle and 2+ at the throat suggest a barrel in good service condition. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
