Description:
When a Garand was converted to 7.62 mm configuration by the Navy, the rifle was no longer classified as an M1 and was given new nomenclature. As was the Navy's policy regarding all manner of equipment, not just arms, "MK" (Mark) and "MOD" (Model) numbers were assigned to the converted rifles. For example, the Garand rifles converted to 7.62 mm by means of a barrel bushing were designated as MK 2 – MOD 0" (Mark 2, Model Zero). The Navy entered into a contract with the American Machine and Foundry (AMF) of York, Pa., to convert rifles to 7.62 mm, and in it these rifles were referred to as "Rifle, M1 Caliber 7.62 mm Conversion." The initial AMF contract called for 15,050 Garands to be converted, many of which were World War II production rifles. The firm subsequently received another contract to convert an additional 10,000 rifles. In order to augment AMF's conversion program, the Navy also granted a contract to Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. These rifles were typically stamped "H&R" on the barrel when converted to 7.62 mm. This is a good example of one of the H&R conversion rifles. Still in great shape and would be a nice addition to anyone's collection. 7.62 Nato
