*RARE EXPERIMENTAL .22-06 SPRINGFIELD M-1 GARAND. SN 5342851. Cal. 22-06. 24″ bbl. This rifle is a fine example of one of the many experiments that happened at Springfield during the Cold War era following the Korean War. The Garand is standard in configuration of all parts with the exception of the bbl that reads as follows: “SA F38536 8142 4344 9 58 / CAL 22-06 SINGLE 1-12” followed by a DOD stamp. It is equipped with standard Korean War standard small parts, such as a “65” op-rod and trigger housing. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: All metal on this rifle shows better than 95% of the orig dark green finish; the upper and front handguards having been sanded and refinished with a slightly lighter color than the butt stock. Butt stock shows to be a standard 1950’s manufacture in near-excellent condition with only a couple of minor rub marks, with a DOD cartouche and a small crossed cannons on the bottom of the pistol grip. There is no circle “P” as these rifles never went to the government. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright. 4-37373 BK37 (4,000-6,000)
