Springfield Armory U.S. Rifle M1 Garand chambered in .30-06 Springfield, serial number 10550xx. The receiver serial places original manufacture in approximately 1942, while the Springfield Armory barrel is dated 4-52 (April 1952), indicating the rifle was rebarreled during a later arsenal reconditioning. It is built with all Springfield Armory parts and retains the majority of its parkerized finish. The rifle is in excellent mechanical condition with a mirror bore and sharp rifling, and comes with a new leather sling.
The M1 Garand served as the standard-issue U.S. service rifle of World War II and the Korean War, produced at Springfield Armory from the late 1930s onward. WWII-era receivers were frequently returned to arsenals in the postwar and Korean War years for overhaul, where worn barrels were replaced with freshly dated examples—an April 1952 barrel on a circa-1942 receiver is fully consistent with this common rebuild practice. All-Springfield examples like this remain popular with both collectors and shooters.
