This is a no reserve penny auction for a Harrington & Richardson M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle in .30-06 Springfield. Serial number- 5613233. This rifle is in great condition for its age with an excellent bore. After running a serial number lookup, we've determined it was manufactured in 1954. It includes its original hang tag, manual, CMP paperwork, and one "AGE" stamped Enbloc clip. Please refer to the photos for muzzle and throat erosion measurements.

Although H&R did not receive its M1 production contract until almost a year after the International Harvester contract was granted, H&R was able to capitalize on its arms-making experience, beginning delivery of M1 rifles at about the same time as IHC. Unlike the seemingly hodge-podge of parts found on some IHC M1 rifles, there was typically much more consistency in the H&R examples, including the format of the receiver markings. Some collectors consider H&R M1 rifles to be among the best regarding fit, finish and overall craftsmanship. Production of the H&R M1 rifles ceased in May 1956, by which time 428,600 rifles had been delivered.

Please refer to the photos as a small hairline crack is seen on the right side of the top handguard.
