This is the first of several nice M1's which I will be offering up over the next few months:

This rifle has good looking USGI wood and an excellent condition barrel. I priced it to sell, so feel free to take a look at it.

This is a good solid rifle which went through rebuilding at Benicia Arsenal and has an excellent condition barrel. This is not a fancy safe queen, but it should be a great shooter and since the CMP no longer offers a choice of manufacturers, you won't roll the dice not knowing what you'll receive.

This is a good solid rifle which would be a nice fit in anyone's gun safe, plus the opening bid is at the CMP issue price and you won't have to wait three-plus months to get one from the CMP.

This is a super clean Harrington and Richardson which was rebuilt at Springfield Armory in early 1965, probably for shipment to Vietnam. For whatever reason, this rifle escaped that fate and it looks as though it sat unissued in an arms room for the last fifty years. The wood looks great, the barrel is like new and the overall condition is excellent. This is the first H&R that I've been able to offer since March, so if you are looking for one I'd give it serious consideration.

The rack number on the left rear of the stock looks to have been put on with some sort of heavy felt tip "Magic Marker" and could probably be removed with some sort of solvent. I never touch this stuff and leave it to the buyer to decide to keep it or to remove it. Birch stocks are what they are; buyers either love them or hate them, but all in all this is not a bad looking rifle and the barrel is in good shape.

H&Rs been backordered at the CMP have for the past five months and this is the first H&R I've been able to obtain in quite a while. There is no longer any choice of manufacturer at the CMP so this is a chance to guarantee an H&R without rolling the dice. This is a very nice looking rifle which shows very little wear, has a great barrel and a really good looking walnut stock set. If you've been waiting on an extremely nice M1, or if you specifically want an H&R, then this rifle bears consideration.

This is a solid rifle with a very good barrel and would serve well on the range or in the field.

The CMP is no longer allowing buyers to specify manufacturers (it is luck of the draw between Springfield or Harrington and Richardson now), so if you want an H&R this is a good chance to get one.

This is one of my own rifles which I purchased, put into the safe and never did anything with it. USGI walnut stock sets with correct markings and in excellent condition was common back in those days, but are hard to find today. I'm sure you'll like this rifle.

This is a good looking H&R from their first production run and these are not too common. The barrel is in excellent shape and the over all condition of the rifle is very good or better. This rifle is right out of my personal collection, so I assure you that it is a good one.

This is from H&Rs last production run and they are a bit hard to find. The wood is in very good shape, as is the barrel. This rifle is right out of my personal collection, so I assure you that it is a good one.
Just kind of curious. Thanks!

Mark, if I was interested in buying an M1, just as a shooter, it doesn't need any collector value, what kind of money would I be looking at?? The only thing I would be interested in would be reasonable accuracy (for an M1) and no rust.
Just kind of curious. Thanks!
M1 supplies are as tight right now as I can ever remember. The CMP stopped accepting orders for Field Grades, which are considered to be Fair to Good condition rifles, back in January, and they have not had the higher quality Service Grades listed since September, 2016. Just finding an M1 right now is a bit of a challenge, so anything that shoots and is priced in the $750 range is about the best you can hope for. I plan to list a few WWII era Springfields in upcoming auctions, but they will be priced at, or close to, this H&R. Because I purchased this rifle a dozen years ago I can price it competitively and I feel that the opener is below market value.
