Marked on top with serial number and “U.S. Exc condition, no pitting, Original finish with wear. We test fired this M1 and it shoots great, watch our video at our YouTube channel Fernwood Armory TV. Major parts are IHC, but a few small parts are SA, all are described below and shown in photos. IHC stock with stars & eagle stamp and circle “P”. If have you read anything else about the above or if you know other commercial makers of the M1 Garand who used non-USGI receivers, I am interested in hearing about it.Description: International Harvester M1 Garand, serial number 50607xx, made about 1954. This was to get around the restriction that Military firearms lent to other countries for free could not be imported back into the U.S.Īgain the above is just what I read. I read that Sam Cummings, the arms dealer who founded Interarms imported Danish M1 Garand and refurbished them in Canada with new made commercial receivers before selling them here. I don't think Springfield Armory was to the first to build and sell the Garand from non-USGI receivers. I heard two stories on where the receivers were made.one said that they were made in Australia and another said in Italy. The commercial M1 Garand rifles made by Springfield Amory,Inc have cast recevers, new barrels and stocks, but some USGI parts. The 7,000,000 and above serial numbers are found on the M1 Garand rifles made by the commercial Springfield Amory, Inc company in Genesco.
Not that I believe everything that I read, but usually the source lends some creditability.this answer by Bruce Canfield at the NRA/American Rifle website says that the highest generally acknowledged M1 Garand serial number in existence is 6,100,499. Not worth the same price as a USGI Garand Nothing wrong with them in you can find one cheap enough.
