U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Springfield Armory
serial #785031, 30-06, 24'' 6-60 dated VAR barrel with a bright very good bore with light oxidation in the grooves but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this August 1942-made rifle retain about 85-90% arsenal reapplied Parkerized finish with light wear on the high edges and contact points, the bottom metal toned largely to a pewter patina, the gas cylinder lock and handguard metal showing moderate thinning to gray, and speckles of light oxidation scattered in spots throughout. The walnut stock is in very good condition with scattered light dings and handling marks consistent with a military service rifle, and the replacement hardwood handguard is in about very good condition with several cracks at the rear, two repaired cracks at the nose (one lengthy), and some light handling marks. The stock with a clear ''P'' inside the pistolgrip, is serialized and matching to rifle along the toeline, and the barrel channel shows a partial Danish tag, numbered to the rifle but with the remaining information now lost. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, the bolt is Beretta-made and neatly electro-pencil marked ''589'', and the remaining parts show Springfield Armory drawing numbers, including the factory relieved operating rod. The rifle retains the standard open sights with ''lockbar'' rear sight drums, a milled triggerguard showing a quite minor ding to one edge, and a 2-slot gas cylinder screw. Included with the rifle are approximately 23 loose enbloc clips, two 5-round enbloc clips in packaging, a S.L.E.D. single loading device in packaging, sling, contemporary manual, and CMP receiver from 2002 decribing the rifle as Danish-issued, the serial number handwritten on the page. A solid rifle returned from our Danish allies. (14A11665-10) {C&R} (800/1200)
