CMP Verified US M1D Garand Sniper .30-06 WWII SA M84 Scope Cased Box

The Crown Jewel of U.S. Military Sniper Rifles

Up for auction is an exceptionally rare, investment-grade U.S. Springfield Armory M1D Garand Sniper Rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield. This exact rifle was authenticated and sold directly by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) during their famed 1999 auction releases, offering absolute ironclad provenance for the most discerning military collector.

Built on a desirable WWII-era Springfield Armory receiver (Serial #2473157, manufactured circa February 1944), this M1D represents the pinnacle of Cold War and Korean War era U.S. precision marksmanship history. The M1D variant was created by mounting a specially manufactured barrel with a pressed-on, pinned scope block, allowing the M84 2.2x telescopic sight to sit offset to the left so the rifle could still be loaded via standard 8-round en-bloc clips.

Complete Accessory Spread & Unissued Provenance

What sets this specific package apart into ultra-rare territory is the inclusion of the complete factory accessory kit and original packaging. Retaining its original CMP cardboard carton, VCI foil vapor-barrier wrapping paper, and protective sleeves, this rifle presents as an unissued arsenal package preserved in time.

Included in this Master Collector Package:

• M84 Telescopic Sight: Correct 2.2x power scope with sharp optics, post-and-crosshair reticle, clear adjustment turrets, integrated rubber eyepiece, sliding sunshade, and flip-up protective covers.

• M84 Canvas Carrying Case: Genuine green canvas scope case marked "CASE, CARRYING / M84".

• Leather Cheek Pad: Correct USGI leather cheekpiece with original rawhide lacing and mounting screws (stamped MRT).

• T37 / M2 Flash Hider: Correct prong-type flash hider assembly.

• USGI Web Sling: Standard issue green canvas sling.

• Provenance Package: Original CMP paperwork/bill of sale documentation, shipping carton, and VCI foil arsenal wrapping materials.

Mechanical & Mechanical Condition

The parkerized finish across the receiver, barrel, and action remains in outstanding, crisp condition with minimal handling wear. The walnut stock features a rich, hand-rubbed oil finish with tight wood-to-metal fitment. The bore is mirror-bright with razor-sharp rifling. Mechanics function with crisp, positive lockup throughout.

For the advanced collector seeking a centerpiece U.S. military arms investment with undeniable CMP paper-trailed authenticity, this complete M1D setup is virtually impossible to upgrade.
