Description
This Springfield Armory U.S. M1 Garand presents as a strong collector and range-grade example with desirable upgrades and accessories. The receiver is marked “U.S. Rifle Cal. .30 M1 Springfield Armory” with serial number 738433, which falls into the approximate July 1942 Springfield Armory production range based on the National Park Service serial table.
The barrel is marked 1955 and is reported to grade 0–1 at both muzzle and throat, indicating excellent bore measurements for this platform. The piece also features a National Match marked operating rod, rear peep/aperture sight, front flash hider or muzzle device, and a classic leather sling. The walnut furniture has a warm, reddish-brown finish with visible handling marks, giving it an authentic vintage appearance without losing display appeal.
This is a great fit for collectors, military-history enthusiasts, and range users looking for a Springfield-marked Garand with meaningful upgraded components. The photos support a good-to-very-good visual condition assessment, though exact chambering, headspace, parts originality, and full National Match provenance should be verified before final sale or use.
