"This beautiful example of an M1 Garand bears full original military wood in excellent condition, but the wood may have been refinished at some point. The metal has been bead-blasted and matte-blued. The rifle is fitted with a brand-new USGI barrel in 1994 and has fired a grand total of 10 "proving" rounds through it since. The rifle features a National Match (NM-marked) Operating Rod. It comes complete with a Bayonet in VG+ condition. The bayonet is a "PAL" 1943, with the U.S. Ordnance "flaming bomb" on the shaft of the blade and the metal fixture of the scabbard."

U.S. M1 Garand .30 Rifle History: by Jamie Mangrum (click here) (http://www.surplusrifle.com/garand/index.asp)
The U.S. M1 Garand .30 Rifle, originally developed in the 1920's for the .276 Caliber by Canadian born, John Garand, an employee of the Springfield Armory. The Army did not want to adopt a .276 gas operated rifle and asked that a 30.06 version be developed. The M1 was finally adopted by the U.S. Army in 1936. During WWII the Garand was used in both theaters. It was well liked by the G.I. and could operate successfully in harsh climates, both extreme cold to hot tropical. The M1 was the main U.S. battle rifle in Korea and was still mass produced until 1957 when the U.S. Army adopted the M14 Rifle.
