This is a fine Harrington & Richardson (HRA) M1 Garand Rifle in .30-06 Springfield, manufactured by Harrington & Richardson Arms Company in Worcester, Massachusetts, specifically for the Korean War era. The serial number 4679256, combined with the barrel marked "HRA 10-53," 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, earning praise from General George S. Patton as “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” H&R produced approximately 428,600 Garands, noted for their quality and craftsmanship, with this example reflecting the company’s contribution to meeting wartime demands. The .30-06 Springfield cartridge offers powerful performance for military, hunting, and competitive shooting. Its historical significance is underscored by its Korean War-era production, likely used in post-war inventories or civilian sales through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
This rifle is in very good plus condition, with metal surfaces retaining a robust parkerized finish and a bright bore, indicating excellent maintenance. The 3-piece walnut stock set shows handling and storage marks, adding character without compromising integrity. The barrel, marked "HRA 10-53," confirms its originality, and the included sling enhances its collectible appeal. Mechanically excellent, the rifle functions flawlessly with its gas-operated, en-bloc clip-fed action. All markings, including the HRA receiver stamp and barrel date, are crisp and legible. As a Curio & Relic firearm, it is eligible for direct shipment to C&R license holders.
