DESCRIPTION

M1 Garand AFPG National Match 5403516


Air Force Premium Grade NM M-1 Garand. These were built into match rifles by USAF armorers at the USAF Competitive Weapons Shop at Lackland AFB.  

Very few AFPG Garands made it into civilian hands, far fewer than Navy B's as it was common for the AF team member to "acquire" their rifles upon retirement and very few were sold to state shooting associations and clubs through the DCM. After the largest supporter of the competitive marksmanship in the USAF, Gen. Curtis LeMay, passed away the USAF NM rifle program died off. The USAF then turned most of the remaining AFPG M1s into drill rifles (welded and plugged barrels) or parade rifles (refinished for appearances). CMP has acquired a small quantity to sell on the auction site.  

You can read more about this rare variant of the M1 rifle in the Garand Collectors Association Journal vol. 16 No.2 Spring 2002 issue.


This AFPG rifle is serial number 5403516  

It has a RIA barrel, ME=1+ and TE=4.

7790722-RA Op Rod with NM stamp on handle. 

Rear sight has NM hooded aperture with 520 hood, Front sight is NM stamped .062. 


*May be pitting/rust under the wood line* 

**Please view photos before bidding**
