*ORIGINAL WWII SPRINGFIELD M-1 GARAND.

*ORIGINAL WWII SPRINGFIELD M-1 GARAND. SN 2089781. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This 2 million / GAW-inspected Garand shows to be a near-excellent orig gun. It is what a collector would describe as an outstanding survivor. The rifle was manufactured in October of 1943 and retains what appear to be all orig components and finish, including a -12 bolt, a -6 unmodified op-rod, a -12 follower, short fork follower rod, and sgl-slot gas piston nut. Rifle is also equipped with the correct rounded knob, locking bar battle sight. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Receiver shows a beautiful dark green parkerized finish, with all components matching in color, and a very faint heat-treat line on the heel. The 10-43 bbl shows better than 95% of the orig green parkerizing, just starting to hint a little brown toward the muzzle, with the gas cylinder and lock showing better than 95% of their orig finish. The -6 op-rod shows approx. 90% orig parkerizing with the handle starting to brown just a little. The GAW buttstock shows good-plus with just some light bruising present, and inspector marks, both crossed cannons and circle “P” being very prominent. The buttplate shows approx. 75% of its orig finish, with the screws still showing quite a bit of blue. The upper and front handguards show good with a few light impressions, presumably from being taken out of a rack, and a small nick just in front of the band clip on the upper handguard. This is a very good example of a WWII survivor that would enhance just about any collection. Mechanics are crisp with the bore showing just slightly dark in the grooves, but with very strong rifling. T/E shows just a hair under 4. 4-37359 BK36 (2,500-4,000)
