This is an example of a post war M1 Garand National Match rifle manufactured by Springfield Armory, intended for use in competitive military shooting. The star proofed Springfield barrel is dated "5-54", with "NM" heavily stamped on the left side of the barrel ahead of the forearm and the arsenal stamp on the right side of the chamber. Additional "NM" stamps are visible on the front sight (NM/062), gas tube, operating rod, horizontal adjustment knob and either side of the rear sight protectors. Rear sight has the hooded apertures. Springfield markings on the bolt and trigger group, with the floor plate hand numbered to the gun. Glass beaded stock, with arsenal proof on the left side, "P" behind the trigger guard, "13 UP" scratched behind the frame, and a checkered trapdoor buttplate.

Excellent, with 95% of the current parkerization, showing a few minor handling marks overall and line wear on the receiver side rail. Some mild pitting and darker parkerization is visible on the gas tube. Stock is very good, with some light pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
