Our Assessment: This is the M1 Garand that won WWII, perhaps the most important battle rifle ever developed. This rifle is a post war International Harvester gun, with a post war barrel and a beautiful stock. It is a shooter’s rifle as it sits with the sharp bore, but is also a rarer post war Garand for your collection. And it is not an import!
