Cold War Garand: NATO Conversion Legend

image 270
The U.S. Navy converted thousands of classic M1 Garands to fire 7.62 NATO ammunition in the 1960s, creating the rare Mk 2 Mod 0 rifles built by Harrington & Richardson and AMF.

Very good condition US military M1 MK 2 MOD 0 Garand semi auto rifle that was one of 17,050 converted to 7.62 NATO caliber by American Machine & Foundry for the US Navy. Receiver is marked “SPRINGFIELD ARMORY” and is serial number 1157xxx, which dates it to manufacture in January 1943. Rifle is NOT import marked and has Springfield Armory barrel, trigger group, and op rod. Early lock bar rear sight. Barrel is dated “7-65” for July 1965 and is marked “AMF -P-” and “7.62 NATO”. Stock is unmarked except for rack numbers on top of the wrist. Metal finish is nice original gray parkerized with some wear on the buttplate. Bore is bright and excellent with strong rifling. Stock has original finish and shows some handling marks. Has a small chip in front of the floorplate Rifle comes with original CMP plastic case and papers, including hang tag and certificate. A true bridge between WWII history and the Cold War era. 

** this is a Mk2 Mod.1 (not mod 0). The Mk. 1 has the new 1965 purpose built 7.62 barrel, rather than the modified 30-06 barrel with bushing insert of the Mod. 0. The Mod.1 is generally more desirable because, with no bushing insert that can be ejected, it’s safe to shoot.**
