Springfield Armory M1 Garand – .30-06, October 1953 Barrel

The M1 Garand, famously praised by General George S. Patton as “the greatest battle implement ever devised,” remains one of the most iconic U.S. military rifles of the 20th century. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this semi-automatic rifle served as the standard-issue U.S. infantry rifle during World War II and the Korean War.

This particular example was manufactured by Springfield Armory and is fitted with a Springfield barrel dated October 1953. It retains a mix of original GI parts and shows service wear throughout the stock, giving it a true battlefield character. The metal finish is in good condition, with proper functioning sights, gas system, and operating rod.

With its historic pedigree and timeless performance, this Garand is both a collectible piece of American history and a functional rifle ready for the range.
