Early U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Springfield Armory
serial #19399, 30-06, 24'' 6-46 dated Springfield Armory barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing scattered spots of light oxidation but strong rifling throughout. The receiver of this October 1939-made rifle has toned to a mottled dark gray patina with remnants of arsenal parkerization and light wear to pewter on high edges and contact points, the gas cylinder and lock toned to a similar dark gray with an even mix of pewter patina, the remaining metal surfaces retaining strong arsenal Parkerized finish with light wear and some fine oxidation staining. The walnut stock is in very good condition with multiple dings, light abrasions, and handling marks scattered about, a few more moderate dings on the pistolgrip showing the beginnings of filler repairs. A boxed ''S.A. / S.H.M.'' inspector's cartouche and Ordnance Wheel are visible on the left side, lightened and partially marred by some minor dings, and the inside of the pistolgrip shows three circled ''P'' proofs of progressively declining legibility. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and crisp, and though originally manufactured as a Gas Trap rifle, the small parts have been replaced with later Springfield Armory made parts, including the factory relieved operating rod. The rifle retains the standard open sights with lock-bar rear sight drums, a milled triggerguard, and a 2-slot gas cylinder screw. Included is a CMP Certificate of Authenticity serialized to the rifle, a shipping receipt for the same, and a contemporary manual. An early example of the M1 rifle, arsenal updated post-WWII. (14A11700-82) {C&R} (1000/1500)
