Manufactured by Winchester, as part of the late war "WIN-13" run of M1 Garand rifles, about May of 1945. Blade front and peep rear sight, the latter fitted with a set of "open arrow" flat adjustment knobs with a "BATTLE RANGE" marked elevation knob and locking bar. The barrel is "WP" and "2" marked on the chamber. Components include a "D28287-1 W.R.A." bolt, "C46025W.R.A." machined trigger guard, "D28290 W.R.A." trigger housing, "6015-4W.R.A." safety, "C46008-1 W.R.A." hammer, and "5382 W.R.A." angled relief cut operating rod. "CM" is also stamped on the housing and hammer. The right receiver leg is stamped "D28291WIN-13" and hand-marked "LEAD/10-65" denoting a post-Korea rebuild at Letterkenny Army Depot. A letter "K" has been added to the lower right side of the receiver heel, near the serial number, having been engraved or electric-penciled through the finish; the significance of the marking is unknown. The smooth pistol grip stock bears "circled P" and "WRA/GHD" stamps, with a checkered steel buttplate and cleaning gear inside the butt trap.

Very fine as arsenal restored to correct configuration, with 95% of the mixed parkerized finish, showing some bright edge wear, minor spotting and light handling marks overall. The gas cylinder shows a strong dark finish, bright on the high points. The reoiled stock is fine, lightly cleaned and reoiled, with some scattered mild dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
