Springfield Armory U.S. M1 Garand .30-06 – June 1945 Receiver, SA 9-51 Barrel

This Springfield Armory U.S. M1 Garand in .30-06 Springfield is a classic WWII-era service rifle with a desirable late-war Springfield receiver. The receiver is marked “U.S. Rifle Cal. .30 M1 Springfield Armory” with serial number 3857588, placing it in the approximate June 1945 Springfield Armory production range based on the National Park Service serial number table.

The barrel is marked SA 9-51, indicating a Springfield Armory barrel dated September 1951, which is consistent with a postwar rebuild or service-life replacement. The bore measurements are reported at 2.5 throat and 2 muzzle, making this an attractive option for the buyer who wants a historic Garand that still has strong range appeal.

Cosmetically, this example shows honest service wear with darker walnut-style furniture, visible dings, scratches, and finish wear throughout the stock and handguards. The metal shows a mix of gray and darker parkerized finish with normal high-contact wear, adjustable rear aperture sight, protected front sight, and classic M1 profile. This is best represented as a rebuilt WWII-era Springfield Garand rather than an all-original collector-grade rifle.
