1956 production receiver, "SA" marked and "4 56" dated barrel with bright chamber ring, "SA/Y01" marked bolt, post-war "SA" operating rod, and post-war "SA" trigger housing with "SA" hammer and "SA-11" safety. Fitted with a boxed "DoD eagle" inspection stamped walnut stock set. Includes a Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) research letter, dated December 13, 2005, identifying the rifle by serial number as sold through the CMP in August 1997, and a matching M1 Garand data sheet, signed by noted M1 Garand author Scott A. Duff and dated June 27, 2005, confirming the rifle's current configuration with the added details of a throat erosion measurement of "2.0" and a muzzle wear measurement of "1.75".

Excellent, retaining most of the original parkerized finish with minor edge wear, light cycling wear, some limited brown patina visible, and minor handling marks. The stock is very fine with a few minor handling marks and crisp stamps. Mechanically excellent.
