This a very fine example of a late post-war production M1 Garand originally manufactured by Springfield Armory circa 1955/56. It was subsequently upgraded with some commercial National Match parts and accurized. The receiver has the standard late production Springfield Armory markings over the serial number, "5819027." It is currently fitted with an unmarked, standard weight, commercial barrel with six lands and grooves. It has a WWII Springfield Armory bolt marked "SA-12," a complete WWII Winchester marked trigger group, a late production NM operating rod that is marked "NM" on top of the handle and "7790722-SA" on the flat, late wide base gas cylinder, high top gas cylinder lock, late four-slot gas plug, a set of GI National Match sights, GI web sling, and a glass bedded GI stock and hand guard set that has a unitized upper handguard and barrel band and no stock cartouches or proofs.
