U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Springfield Armory
serial #3599603, 30-06, 24'' 3-45 Springfield Armory barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this late WWII-era rifle retain about 95% original gray-green Parkerized finish with light wear on high edges and contact points, mild toning to brown on the operating rod under bright light, and the stock and handguard ferrules show light oxidation staining. The walnut stock and handguards are in very good condition with light abrasions on the right side of the comb and toe, a tight, likely lightly repaired, 1 1/2'' crack in the base of the forward handguard, and scattered light dings and handling marks. The stock is marked with a faint boxed ''SA / NFR'' and Ordnance Wheel on the left, with a partial circled ''P'' stamped immediately behind the triggerguard. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and crisp, and the marked parts are all of Springfield Armory make with drawing numbers appropriate for its vintage, including the unrelieved operating rod. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, a milled triggerguard, and 2-slot gas cylinder screw. Included is a CMP Certificate of Authenticity serialized to the rifle, and a contemporary manual. A fine late WWII-vintage M1 rifle for the martial collector. (14A11700-80) {C&R} (1200/1800)
