Springfield Armory U.S. Rifle M1 Garand chambered in .30-06 Springfield, of 1945 manufacture. The rifle is fitted with a Springfield Armory bolt, trigger housing, and op rod — the op rod being National Match (NM) marked — and a “P”-proofed, no-date barrel. It is in solid mechanical condition with a bright bore and sharp rifling, and the barrel gauges 1.0 at the muzzle, indicating minimal muzzle wear. It comes with a Korean-marked sling.
The M1 Garand was the standard U.S. service rifle of World War II and Korea and the first semi-automatic rifle in general issue. This 1945-dated Springfield example carries a set of SA components — bolt, trigger housing, and an NM-marked op rod — the National Match op rod being a desirable match-grade part used to accurize Garands. With a bright, sharp-rifled bore, an excellent 1.0 muzzle gauge reading, and solid mechanics, plus its Korean-marked sling reflecting later service, it presents as an honest, strong-shooting Garand of interest to collectors and shooters alike.
