1942 WORLD WAR II WINCHESTER U.S. M1 GARAND .30-06 Infantry Rifle SA Barrel

"The greatest battle implement ever devised"- Patton

Here we present a Winchester U.S. M1 Garand Rifle, manufactured September 1942 at the Winchester Repeating Arms plant in New Haven, Connecticut. On April 4, 1939, Winchester was granted an Educational Order for 500 M1 rifles along with one tool, fixture, and gauge for each part. The reason for such a small quantity was to determine the company’s suitability for manufacturing the rifle prior to the granting of a large production contract. Even while the Educational Order rifles were still being manufactured, Winchester was offered a contract for the production of 65,000 M1s. The company agreed to the proposal, and the contract was awarded on September 20, 1939. 

Winchester’s M1 production contract was cancelled in June, 1945. By the time Winchester ceased M1 production, the company turned out a total of 513,880 Garand rifles as compared to just over 3-1⁄2 million by the Springfield Armory. As was the case with the M1 rifles manufactured by Springfield Armory, the majority of the Winchester Garands were subsequently overhauled after the war. Any damaged, worn or superseded parts were replaced as part of the overhaul procedure.
The overall condition is very good. Refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is tight, shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock is solid and is likely an arsenal replacement. The barrel is Springfield Armory and dated 8-43.
