This is a fine Springfield M1 Garand Rifle in .30-06 Springfield, manufactured by Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. The serial number 2805317 places production around 1944, during World War II, though the barrel, dated 1-53, indicates a Korean War-era replacement, likely during a post-war rebuild. Designed by John Garand and adopted by the U.S. military in 1936, the M1 Garand was the first standard-issue semi-automatic rifle, revolutionizing infantry tactics. Widely used in WWII and the Korean War, it earned praise as “the greatest battle implement ever devised” by General George S. Patton. This example, with its mix of WWII and Korean War components, reflects the rifle’s extensive service history. The .30-06 Springfield cartridge is renowned for its power and versatility, ideal for military, hunting, and competitive shooting. The large 1/2" Ordnance inspection stamp and circle "P" proof mark on the stock further tie it to Korean War-era arsenal refurbishment, adding historical significance.

This rifle is in fine condition, retaining most of its original finish, with a bright bore (ME=2, TE=3) indicating excellent maintenance and minimal wear. The walnut stock is very good, showing period-of-use impressions and bruises that add character without compromising integrity. Nearly all parts are Springfield Armory originals, except for the safety and windage knob, which are likely from other manufacturers used during rebuilds. The rifle is mechanically excellent, with smooth operation of its gas-operated, en-bloc clip-fed action. All markings, including the barrel date and stock stamps, are crisp and legible.
