Scarce U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by International Harvester
serial #5168409, 30-06, 24'' 10-53 dated Springfield Armory barrel with a bright excellent bore. Though predominately equipped with high quality LMR barrels, some of the ''postage stamp'' variant IHC M1 rifles are believed to have been equipped with 1953-dated Springfield Armory barrels to match their SA-production receivers, such as with this rifle. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original gray-green Parkerized finish with light wear on the high edges and contact points, a few spots of hardened oil, and some scattered light handling marks and specks of oxidation around the gas cylinder and muzzle. The walnut stock and handguard are in very good plus condition with a tight 3/4'' crack at the left woodline below the clip latch and some scattered dings and light handling marks, most having softened with time. The stock is marked with the softened remnants of a 1/2'' DoD acceptance mark and a partial circled ''P'' proof, remaining otherwise unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp and the marked parts are all of IHC origin, including the windage and elevation drums of the T105 rear sight. The rifle features the correct stamped triggerguard and 2-slot gas cylinder screw, and the trigger is light with no perceptible ''wall''. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity from the DCM, serialized and matching to the rifle, as well as a modern M1 rifle manual. A seldom seen example of an IHC rifle factory assembled with a SA barrel. (14B11700-89) {C&R} (1800/2200)
