    1943 Springfield M1 Garand

    Hello,

    This 1943 Springfield Garandicon came out of a small shop in Eastern Canadaicon.

    This is the only Garand in my WWII collection and I've been pretty happy with it since picking it up.

    I don't believe it's ever been messed with, but has no provenance or story of how it got here.





















    Regards,
    -Steve

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Looks pretty good from the initial look-see. How about some more extensive breakdown? Nice looking rifle...

    Very nice rifle. I am envious of that EMcF stock. It's a beauty!

    Thanks!

    I did photograph and research the internals several years ago, from what I recall it all appeared original including un-cut op rod. I will see if I can find those photos.

    I have never fired the rifle. I was searching at the time for a nice M1icon Garand for my Marine Corps collection of firearms.
