The standard issue infantry rifle of the US Army during WW2, this is the M1 Garand self loading rifle, the first semi-automated rifle to become standard issue. It was introduced to replace the Springfield M1903 before WW2, and continued in service right up till the Vietnam War, chambering the same .30-06 round but in an 8-round 'en-bloc' clip. This particular example was made at the Springfield Armoury, and the serial number dates it to 1946, so just after WW2 but identical to wartime produced weapons. Deactivated in 1990, this rifle has full working action, cocks and dry fires, and fully strips. It comes complete with leather sling, possibly a repro, but a very convincing one with age to it, if it is. Excellent condition woodwork and retaining all its finish on the steel. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK specification.
