This is an exceptionally fine Harrington & Richardson (HRA) M1 Garand Rifle in .30-06 Springfield, manufactured by Harrington & Richardson Arms Company in Worcester, Massachusetts. The serial number 4664932, combined with the 4-53 dated HRA barrel, confirms production in 1953, aligning with H&R’s M1 Garand production run from 1953 to 1956. Designed by John Garand and adopted by the U.S. military in 1936, the M1 Garand was the first standard-issue semi-automatic rifle, renowned for its reliability and impact in World War II and the Korean War. H&R, a key contractor post-WWII, produced approximately 428,600 Garands, noted for their quality and craftsmanship despite lower production numbers compared to Springfield Armory or Winchester. The .30-06 Springfield cartridge offers powerful performance for military, hunting, and competitive shooting. This rifle’s historical significance lies in its Korean War-era production, with the 3/8" Ordnance cartouche and circle "P" proof mark indicating military acceptance during that period.

This example is in exceptionally fine condition, retaining nearly all its parkerized finish with only limited high-point edge wear and operational wear on the operating rod and barrel. The brilliant bright bore (ME 1, TE 2.5) and non-parkerized chamber reflect meticulous care. The oil-finished walnut stock is very fine, with light period-of-use impressions and a scratch on the forward handguard, adding character without detracting from its appeal. Featuring HRA bolt, trigger assembly, and rear sight knob, with SA-marked hammer and op rod, this rifle reflects typical mixed parts from arsenal rebuilds. Mechanically excellent, it functions flawlessly with its gas-operated, en-bloc clip-fed action. All markings, including the HRA receiver stamp and stock cartouches, are crisp and legible.
