SOLD EXCEPTIONAL US WW2 M1 GARAND…….APRIL 1944…..GAW CARTOUCHE……100% ORIGINAL…..BEAUTIFUL STOCK!!!

In excellent hardly carried original condition, we have an April of 1944 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 1.5 which indicated the rifle was not shot that much.  The beautiful walnut stock with striped figuring crisply shows the GAW inspection acceptance cartouche of George A Woody who was in charge of the Springfield Armory at the time the rifle was manufactured.  This rifle was one of the Garands called into the DCM back in the 1980’s and cherry picked by one of the volunteers.    General Patton called the M1 Garand the greatest combat implement ever devised and that is high praise indeed.  I once spoke to an old vet 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 top example of the original as issued WW2 service rifle here you go…….
