SOLD US WW2 M1 GARAND RIFLE…. DEC, 1943 PRODUCTION….GAW CARTOUCHED….100% ORIGINAL AND CORRECT

In excellent original condition, we have a December of 1943 production M1 Garand Service rifle.  This is a great example of the famous US combat rifle that was carried throughout the war.  The bore is excellent and the throat gauges out at a 2 which indicated the rifle was not shot that much.  The stock clearly shows the inspection acceptance cartouche of George A Woody who was in charge of the Springfield Armory at the time the rifle was manufactured.    General Patton called the M1 Garand the greatest combat implement ever devised and that is high praise indeed.  I was speaking to an old vet the other day and he said that they loved to carry a carbine but when it was time to start shooting they loved the Garand because in his words “it really put them (the enemy) down.”  If you are looking for a nice example of the original as issued WW2 service rifle here you go…….
