Springfield M1 Garand CMP Rifle with sling, CMP case, May 1942
Description:
The M1 is one of the most important firearms ever produced. It served faithfully from World War Two (as the standard issue rifle) all the way into early Vietnam (in the sniper role). Post WWII production records are inexact; The serial number for this rifle indicates late '53 or '54 manufacture. The barrel date is 4/55. This is a Springfield-built M1 sold through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). It was originally built at the Springfield Arsenal in May of 1942. Post-WW2, it was rebuilt by SA with a with a new barrel in June of 1964. Many M1 Garands were rebuilt after WW2. This gun is in good condition. The blue CMP tag indicates the rifle is in “Service Grade” condition. It also states the muzzle tightness as 2 while the throat as 1. Looking down the bore of the rifle, there is no rust or pitting. It will shoot extremely well. The stock appears to be original to the era and has some small dings in it, and a bur on the right side. There is also a small repair on the forward right side. There a P-stamp, a faint SA GHS stamp, and an open box SA stamp in the wood. There is evidence this stock was once built for use on an M1C or M1D sniper rifle. There is a faint outline of a sniper cheek pad and there are a pair of holes on the bottom that have been filled. The trigger group is of Winchester (W.R.A.) manufacture. The bolt and charging handle/operating were made by Springfield. Many people like to modify these rifles for competition shooting. A word on handloading ammunition for this rifle. Normally, only 150gr bullets should be used in a standard issue M1. This is done to preserve the operating rod. Extensive use of heavy bullets in an unmodified Garand will result in the operated bending requiring replacement. In order to use match 168gr loads or heavier bullets, a Schuster gas plug must be fitted. For 220gr round nose ammo, adjust the plug so that the fired cases eject no more than five feet away. If they are ejecting something like twenty feet away, your operating rod is in danger. Hornady .30-caliber 225gr spitzers will usually be too long to fit and require single-loading into the chamber. These gas plugs work well, and I enjoy shooting my personal M1 Garand equipped as such. One important characteristic of the gun is the name Garand. It is named after its inventor after all. Today, most people pronounce it “Guh-rand”, the last part coming out like “grand” or “rand” (like Remington-Rand). This is not how Mr. Garand pronounced his own last name. The correct pronunciation is “Gare-rind” with the first part sounding like “dare” (“I dare you to…”) or “bear”, and the second part sounding like “wind” but with the rolling “r” sound instead of the “w”. Most people continue to pronounce the word as many always have (even in WW2) because of tradition but it’s nice to hear the correct pronunciation now and then. This rifle comes with a sling, a CMP case, and the paperwork.
