Description:
Winchester “Danish” M1 Garand serial 1316xxx, manufactured April 1943.
This is a “Danish return” rifle. After WWII, 20,000 Garands were loaned to the Danish military. In 1998, about 17,000 of these were returned to the US Army. While in Denmark, many of the rifles were used enough to require new barrels and/or other parts. This one has a 1960 VAR (Vaabenarsenalet) Danish barrel, caliber .30-06.
This rifle is particularly interesting because its stock has been marked with the receiver serial number, inside and out, has a Danish data label inside, and it has its Danish hang tag. Denmark designated the M1 rifle as “7.62mm Gevaer M/50” (model 50), which is written at the top of the hang tag. This is a nice collector package, in good shooting condition.
There are no import marks. All parts are described below and shown in photos.
The rifle has been disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and test fired. Watch our video at our YouTube channel Fernwood Armory TV to see how it shoots.
Parts were clean for photos, coated with oil and greased where appropriate when reassembled.
Two M1 enbloc clips and sling noted below are included.
Specs:
Receiver: marked “D28291-2” on leg. Misc. assembly markings underneath. Excellent condition, absolutely no pitting. Original finish shows wear, particularly where wood contacts. This is a “two-tone” receiver – from a WWII heat treatment of the heel by being dipped in hot lead, which produces the dark appearance of the heel. Receiver legs have rough machining marks, typical for Winchester.
Barrel: marked “D 6535448 3-60 284” in op rod slot, with “VAR” and crown, “DK” and crown, “M”, and “KOA” in circle. The bore is bright but not mirror-bright, crown and rifling very good. No external pitting, good finish with some wear on the exposed front section. Chrome pads at gas port. VAR barrels are known for quality and accuracy.
Barrel Gauge Measurements: ME(muzzle erosion): 2 ½, TE(throat erosion): 2 1/2
Op rod: curved side, marked “D35382 6 SA”, modified. Good working condition, no pitting.
