Exactly what you’re looking for in a quality rifle!
Exceptionally Correct, Late-WWII Springfield Armory M1 Garand (Serial 3745630)
This is a rare opportunity to own a highly desirable, collector-grade example of an authentic M1 Garand manufactured by Springfield Armory in May 1945. Representing one of the final production runs of the Second World War, this rifle features an incredible level of component correctness. The receiver heel clearly displays the serial number 3745630 alongside the sharp ‚U.S. RIFLE / CAL .30 M1 / SPRINGFIELD / ARMORY‚ stamping, placing its manufacture firmly at the culmination of the war in Europe. Because its major components perfectly match the May 1945 production timeframe, this rifle stands out as an outstanding, unmolested piece of history that likely escaped the heavy post-war rebuilding process common to most military firearms.
The definitive crown jewel for any serious collector is the factory-original barrel, and this rifle features a pristine Springfield Armory barrel explicitly stamped \"1-S-A-5-45\", providing an absolute, verifiable date match to the receiver. Further inspection confirms a highly consistent suite of late-war parts. The operating rod is the correct late-WWII curved-side variant featuring a crisp \"D35382 9 SA\" drawing number. The internal mechanics are equally correct, featuring a \"D28287-19SA\" bolt with its corresponding B-19 steel lot code, a \"D28290-18-SA\" trigger housing pack, a \"C46008-5-SA\" hammer, and a late-war single/double-digit follower marked \"12\". Adding to its historical character, the rifle retains an older milled trigger guard, a classic \"clean out\" transitional characteristic where Springfield armorers used up remaining milled stocks alongside newer stamped components.
Aesthetically, the rifle is in excellent condition, boasting a beautiful dark walnut stock that shows honest, light military service wear without any major cracks or deep gouges. A subtle, authentic rack number \"156\" is deeply stamped just below the receiver heel on the wood grip, while the parkerized finish across the metal remains robust and clean throughout the receiver and barrel assemblies. This complete, historic collector‚s package includes the highly matching Springfield M1 Garand rifle itself, a bayonet with its iconic green M7 scabbard, and canvas clip pouch complete with two en-bloc clips. This remarkably preserved package is ready for center-stage display in any serious World War II or military firearm collection.
