Desirable World War II U.S. Springfield M1C Garand Sniper Rifle with M84 Scope, Shipping Box and Papers

Developed in 1944, the M1C was the first production-level sniper variant of the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle. While highly effective as a sniper weapon, the manufacturing process was rather involved, requiring a Springfield receiver to be selected off the production line before heat treating, shipped to Griffin & Howe for base installation, and then returned to the Armory to complete the process. While phased out of production in favor of the M1D, which could be produced in-house by Springfield using finished and surplus M1 rifles, the M1C saw sniper duty through Korea and into Vietnam. Less than 8000 were completed during WW II, with a batch of converted but unassembled receivers finished up circa 1951-1953 for Korea, resulting in a total production of less than 13000. This example has a receiver originally manufactured in January of 1945, with a "1-45" dated Springfield barrel, "BATTLE RANGE" marked rear sight drums with locking bar, Springfield bolt, hammer, safety, trigger housing and operating rod. The scope base is secured to the receiver with the proper two-pin/three-screw arrangement, with two-piece scope rings, two-line Griffin & Howe markings on top, and "3531293" on the right side. The scope is marked "TELESCOPE/M84/SERIAL NO 8396" on the data plate. Smooth pistol grip stock, with "SA/NFR" and "P" stamps, brown leather "MRT/1-52" cheekpiece (not screwed in), nylon sling and a steel buttplate. With a CMP labeled shipping box, canvas scope case, rubber eyepiece, conical M2 flash hider, sight protectors and paperwork, including a DCM packing slip that identifies rifle and scope by serial number, a CMP Service Grade sales certificate, and a photocopy of the article "Telescopes Used on the M1C" by Scott Duff, which mentions the M84 as a common scope for M1Cs headed for Korea, both later manufacture and WWII-vintage examples.

ConditionVery fine with 99% of the arsenal parkerized finish, showing some mild bright edge wear and handling marks overall. The optics are clear, with mild wear on the exterior. The stock is also very fine with some dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
