Our Assessment: The M1 Garand is one of the most significant U.S. military rifles ever produced, and Springfield Armory rifles from August 1943 fall squarely into the heart of World War II production. This example has been re-barreled with a Springfield-marked two-groove replacement barrel dated November 1953, a configuration commonly seen on postwar arsenal-maintained rifles. Two-groove barrels from this period are well regarded for their durability and accuracy, particularly with modern ammunition, and this barrel rates an exceptional 10/10, presenting in essentially like new condition with a bright, sharp bore.

This rifle has been refinished and fitted with a new production stock, giving it a clean, uniform appearance suited to a shooter-focused build rather than a strict collector piece. A scope mount has been installed into the rear sight block and is currently carrying a Tasco 4-16X scope, transforming the Garand into a practical, optics-ready range rifle. A leather cheek pad has been added to properly align the shooter’s eye with the optic, improving comfort and consistency. Overall, this M1 Garand blends WWII-era heritage with thoughtful modern upgrades, making it a shooter with exceptional barrel life remaining.
