Description:
John Garand was a civil service employee. As the chief civilian engineer at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts, he invented a semiautomatic.30-caliber rifle known as the M1 or the "Garand." His work on this rifle let the United States enter into World War II as the only country with a semiautomatic rifle as standard issue for its troops. Garand received no monetary award other than his modest civil service salary for the M-1 or his numerous other technical innovations related to weapons. A bill was introduced in Congress to grant him $100,000, but it did not pass. However, in 1941 he was awarded a Medal for Meritorious Service. In 1944, he received a U.S. Government Medal for Merit. This rifle made General George Patton state, "In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised." This particular rifles serial number places it being made in 1955 - 1957 The last years of production by Springfield armory. The young man that bought it from the CMP leaned it against a truck, and it fell over in gravel. So, at the front sight, forward hand guard, middle wood under the left side of the receiver and back near the butt, are small indentions. I believe they could be steamed out without much difficulty. Otherwise, this rifle is a great salute to the Greatest Generation to have graced this earth. .30-06 Springfield
