Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Hailed by General George S. Patton as "the greatest battle implement ever devised," the U.S. M1 Garand rifle served as the standard-issue infantry rifle of the United States armed forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. Engineered by John C. Garand and produced en masse by Springfield Armory, the M1 Garand brought unprecedented semi-automatic firepower to American GIs via its gas-operated, 8-round en-bloc clip system. Manufactured at Springfield Armory in December 1942—during the height of WWII war production—this historical example features a 24-inch barrel, military Parkerized finish, USGI walnut stock, aperture rear sights, and an attached green web sling. Imported in the late 1980s by Blue Sky of Arlington, Virginia, following military reimportation from South Korea, authentic World War II Springfield M1 Garand rifles are iconic military-surplus centerpieces.
This fine, honest WWII military service rifle, serial number 1087829, is an authentic Springfield Armory M1 Garand manufactured in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December 1942. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this rifle features a 24-inch barrel, Parkerized finish, USGI walnut stock, aperture sights, green web sling, heel receiver markings, and subtle "BLUE SKY / ARLINGTON, VA." import stampings along the barrel body. Preserved in clean, highly presentable military surplus condition throughout with uniform grey/green Parkerized coverage, attractive walnut stock, smooth action, positive en-bloc clip ejection, and a clean, shootable bore with strong rifling. With verified 1942 Springfield production heritage, this M1 Garand is a premier long-gun acquisition for WWII collectors and shooters alike.
