Attn: Collectors! Here is a beautiful Springfield Armory Type 2 National Match M1 Garand, originally sold by the DCM, complete with paperwork and packaging.

Serial number is 5291417. This rifle was built in 1963 and originally sold by the DCM on 9-21-71.

This is the ultimate National Match rifle. This rifle is as-new and never used, in its M1 NM package. The white material on the rifle is an anti-corrosion compound from the packaging. This rifle is as it left the armorer’s workbench, with no wear or corrosion on any parts.

Springfield NM barrel dated February 1963 with a like new bore. National Match markings as they should be, on the op rod, gas cylinder, front and rear sights. Bedded stock has stars and eagle, circle “P” and is hand marked 1417 inside. No import marks. All parts are described in detail below and shown in photos.

This is one of the last lot of 3,639 M1 match rifles built by the Armory, with all improvements developed during the program. 

A letter from the CMP verifiying authentication of this rifle is included, along with a copy of the original sales record (see photos). Additional photos and information is available at our .
