Built around a receiver manufactured in January 1955, this is a Type 2 National Match M1 Garand rifle as outfitted by Springfield Armory for competitive shooting events. Features winged blade front sight marked "N M/062", "N M/2A" marked adjustable peep rear sight assembly with "595" marked peep hood, "N M" marked gas cylinder, "6528287-SA/Y01" marked bolt, along with a "NM" and "6535382 SA" marked operating rod. The barrel is marked "NM" on the left, dated "2 53" and marked "LMR", "M", "PT" and "crossed cannons". The trigger housing is marked "6528290-SA," with a "SA 5546008" hammer and "F" marked safety. Fitted with a smooth oiled American walnut stock with "DoD" cartouche on the left and "circle P" firing proof on the grip, NM-pattern glass bedded to the trigger housing and receiver and a partial matching number in white paint inside the stock channel.

Very fine as arsenal upgraded to National Match configuration, showing 97% of the parkerized finish, with light rubs and wear concentrated on the barrel and gas cylinder, and minor handling marks overall. The stock is fine, renumbered to match the rifle, with a crack in the rear handguard, play in the front handguard, light dents and scratches overall. Mechanically excellent.
