Discover the History of The M1 Garand

After World War I, the need for an auto-loading infantry rifle was evident. The United States Army found that answer via John Garand, a Canadian born inventor working at Springfield Armory, who designed a rifle that met their laundry list of specifications. Garand's proposed rifle beat out its competition, but it still importd work to meet the demands the government had for the military gun. Over a decade of prototypes later, Garand perfected the rifle that we now know as the M1 Garand.

From 1936 until 1959 the M1 Garand was the standard United States infantry rifle, and it continued to see use as late as the Vietnam War. Throughout its history, the M1 Garand became known as the US military's most successful infantry weapon. Famed World War II general George Paton even declared the M1 Garand to be, "the greatest battle implements ever devised."

After the World War II, many M1 Garand rifles were placed into storage to preserve the firearms until they needed to be used again. Amazingly, more than eighty years after its creation, the M1 Garand is still used by military drill teams across America.

At RIAC, our M1 Garands for sale are perfect for gun collectors and enthusiasts seeking to add a piece of history to their collection. In 2013, we auctioned off John F. Kennedy's M1 Garand for $149,500. We also sold the M1 Garand that was presented to none other than John Garand himself. Throughout the year, our Premier and Regional Auctions offer rare M1 Garands for sale you won't find at any other auction.
