Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The International Harvester M1 Garand represents a fascinating chapter in post–World War II American arms production—one that bridges industrial ingenuity and national defense readiness during the Korean War era. As U.S. forces were rapidly redeployed to the Korean Peninsula, the Ordnance Department realized that existing wartime M1 inventories were insufficient, prompting the resumption of Garand manufacture. While Springfield Armory quickly restarted its lines, additional capacity was needed, leading to the unconventional selection of International Harvester—a company best known for tractors, trucks, and industrial equipment. Between 1954 and 1956, International Harvester produced rifles like this Service Grade example (serial 5120990), chambered in .30-06 and featuring the classic 24-inch barrel, wing-protected blade front sight, and adjustable aperture rear. Though new to firearms manufacturing, International Harvester leveraged its production resources to meet the government’s urgent demand, adding an important industrial player to the Garand’s legacy.

This M1 Garand Service Grade rifle reflects both the rugged reliability of the original design and the unique production story that makes International Harvester examples particularly collectible today. Finished in blue with a smooth walnut stock, it embodies the same functional simplicity and battlefield dependability that defined the Garand’s reputation as “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” While Springfield and Winchester carried the design through World War II, International Harvester’s contribution during the Cold War era stands as a testament to the adaptability of American industry and the enduring excellence of the M1 platform.
LMR refers to the Line Material Company, which manufactured barrels for the International Harvester (IH) M1 Garand rifles produced during the mid-1950s.
