America's first issued semi-automatic sniper rifle, the M1C Garand was developed and first issued for World War II. While the M1C would be eclipsed by the M1D in general production due to greater ease of production, it served with dignity in multiple American wars, including Korea and Vietnam. This receiver was manufactured in April of 1945, with a "S-A-3-51" barrel, a matching numbered base (3717714) secured with three hex screws and two pins, "SA" bolt, trigger guard, hammer, safety, and relief cut operating rod, and an "IHC" trigger housing. The scope is numbered "41541" on the data plate and "7667424" on the underside, with a sliding sun shield and an unmarked blued ring set (rubber eyepiece not present). The stock is marked with a serifed "P" on the wrist and a "S.A." Springfield stamp (post-WWII "top half" pattern) on the left, a steel buttplate, and cleaning equipment in the trap. Included with the rifle is the CMP shipping box, which contains the storage pouches for the rifle and scope, along with the following accessories, which are still in the original packaging: M2 flash hider, cheek piece, sling, brush, "brush wire tube", cleaning case, cleaning rod, and canvas scope case (unsealed). Also included is a set of CMP paperwork, identifying this rifle by serial number as a M1C Sniper auctioned by the CMP to a retired commander of the United States Navy.

Exceptionally fine, with 98% of the arsenal parkerized finish, showing some light handling marks and edge wear overall. The stock is very fine, with a few tiny edge chips and dings. The excellent scope shows mild exterior wear, with a solid reticle and clear optics. Mechanically excellent.
