Description
The Springfield Armory M1 Garand remains one of the most legendary U.S. service rifles ever produced. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this semi-automatic battle rifle was the standard infantry arm during World War II and the Korean War, providing American forces with a distinct firepower advantage over enemy bolt-action rifles.
This example, serial number 4398965, places it as post-war Springfield production. The rifle features the classic walnut stock with arsenal markings and honest field wear, paired with Parkerized metal components that retain sharp receiver markings. The barrel is marked “SA 3-51,” indicating a Springfield Armory replacement barrel from March 1951 — common for rifles arsenal-refurbished for Korean War service.
With its blend of WWII-era design and Korean War rebuild history, this M1 Garand is both a shooter and collectible. A must-have for anyone interested in U.S. military arms, it represents a cornerstone of 20th-century firearms development.
