Our Assessment: This Springfield M1 Garand represents one of the finest ways to own the iconic U.S. service rifle, offered as a CMP Special Grade and sold by the Civilian Marksmanship Program in 2015. The receiver dates to June 1945, pairing genuine WWII-era Springfield production with a modern CBI barrel dated 2015, providing excellent accuracy and long service life. The rifle is fitted with a new-production CMP replacement walnut furniture set, giving it a crisp, uniform appearance that closely mirrors how a factory-new Garand would have looked when originally issued.
CMP Special Grade Garands were built to offer shooters and collectors a mechanically “like-new” rifle, using original U.S. receivers rebuilt with new barrels, new wood, and carefully refurbished components. These rifles were intended to deliver the best possible shooting experience while preserving authentic U.S. military heritage, and they are widely regarded as the closest thing to owning a “new in box” M1 Garand today. With its wartime-dated receiver, modern barrel, fresh furniture, and documented CMP sale, this example perfectly embodies the appeal of the Special Grade program, combining historical authenticity with modern shootability.
