Description:
Korean War Period Springfield U.S. M1 Garand Collector Grade CMP
Offered here for sale is a newly acquired U.S. military rifle- the classic Springfield M1 Garand .30-06 caliber. As collectors are aware of the Garand’s WWII provenance, many of the rifles were re-purposed during the Korean War and continued in the military. This fine example of a Springfield Armory M1 Garand that passed through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP)—a route many collectors and enthusiasts rely on for authentic U.S. military surplus rifles.
M1 Garand Overview:
  • Model: M1 Garand
  • Manufacturer: Springfield Armory
  • Serial Number: 1,741,043
  • Date of Manufacture: June 1953


Historical Context:
The M1 Garand with serial number 1,741,043 falls into a production period during the Korean War era. This specific serial range corresponds with late/post-Korean War manufacture, when Springfield Armory was producing some of the last standard-issue Garands before transitioning focus to newer rifles like the M14. Although M1 production ceased in 1957, Springfield had returned to M1 production post-WWII in response to Cold War and Korean War demands.


CMP Details:
The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered organization that sells surplus military firearms to qualified U.S. citizens. Rifles from CMP often undergo inspection, cleaning, and grading. Your rifle is described as:
  • CMP Finish Retained: This suggests that the parkerizing is original or expertly redone by the CMP, which is known for professional restoration.
  • Superb Wood with Excellent Figuring: This could indicate either a beautiful walnut stock with noticeable grain and contrast, or even one of the rarer curly or tiger-striped pieces that occasionally surface.
  • Pristine Condition: Uncommon for rifles of this age, implying it was either unissued, lightly used, or meticulously preserved and offered and rated by the CMP as a COLLECTOR GRADE item
A Springfield Armory Garand in pristine CMP condition from 1953, especially with outstanding wood and correct finish, is highly desirable among collectors and shooters alike. While early WWII Garands are prized for history, late-model guns like this are often in better condition and more practical for range use.
If the rifle retains its original parts (bolt, barrel, op rod, trigger group) and those components match 1953 production (or are marked “SA” for Springfield Armory), it would significantly add to the value. It appears that the gas port is marked 8-50 as well.


Estimated Value (as of 2025):
  • Service Grade CMP rifles from this period typically range between $1,200–$1,800.
  • However, a pristine, well-figured-stock example like yours could command a collector premium—potentially $2,500–$3,500, depending on matching parts, condition, and market interest.
