This is a fine Springfield Armory M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle in .30-06 Springfield, manufactured by Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. The serial number 5833526 places receiver production between 1956 and 1957, as Springfield Armory’s M1 Garand serialization records indicate numbers in the 5,800,000 range for this period. The barrel, dated "6 65" with a DoD eagle stamp, suggests a replacement during a post-Korean War rebuild, likely in June 1965. 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.” The .30-06 Springfield cartridge offers powerful performance for military, hunting, and competitive shooting. The CMP shipping record confirms its Civilian Marksmanship Program provenance, adding collectible value, while the stock markings ("9/6" and "166") suggest arsenal or unit identification. Its historical significance lies in its late-production Springfield Armory manufacture and post-war service.
This rifle is in very fine condition, with a bright bore indicating excellent maintenance and minimal use. The parkerized finish shows minimal wear, and the walnut stock, with handwritten “9/6” on the grip and hand-painted “166” on the buttstock, is in very good condition with typical handling marks. Mechanically fine, the gas-operated, en-bloc clip-fed action functions flawlessly. All markings, including the Springfield Armory receiver stamp, barrel date, and DoD eagle stamp, are crisp and legible. As a Curio & Relic firearm, it is eligible for direct shipment to C&R license holders.
