Springfield Armory ~ M1 Garand ~ .30-06 Springfield

The M1 Garand or M1 rifle is a semi-automatic rifle that was the service rifle of the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War. The rifle is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and is named after its Canadian-American designer, John Garand. It was the first standard-issue autoloading rifle for the United States. This is a nice example with barrel markings of SA 6-45. Previous owner checked this one out very closely and notes are shown in the picture. If you like classic surplus rifles, this is a nice example that you would be proud to own.
