*VERY LATE SPRINGFIELD M-1 (SERVICE) GARAND.

*VERY LATE SPRINGFIELD M-1 (SERVICE) GARAND. SN 5978301. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This M-1 Garand is somewhat uncommon because it is a service rifle that was manufactured post-Korean War, when 80% of all Garands manufactured were National Matches, and it is also in the last year of production of new M-1 Garands, with the manufacture being in the spring of 1956. This rifle appears complete with all orig equipment in code, fit, and color. Rifle comes with DCM box. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Metal components of this rifle all show better than 95% of the uniform dark green parkerizing of that era at Springfield. The butt stock shows good with a couple of nicks on the top right side of the comb, with a very visible cartouche and no other significant marring. It is also equipped with a very late production sling, with the metal of the sling being a green-painted aluminum. Upper and front handguards also show very good condition, with one very small impression on each. Mechanics are crisp, T/E is 2, and bore is bright and shiny. This is a very fine example of the end of an era. 4-37357 BK50 (2,000-4,000)
