Master Sergeant Raymond E. Parkinson prepared the rifle for Kennedy by adjusting the trigger, adding a glass-bedding compound to the recoil shoulders of the stock, and bluing much of the metal.<\/p>\n<p>The then-senator later thanked Parkinson for his efforts, adding that he planned to actually use the match-grade rifle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40912\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/outdoorhub-john-f.-kennedys-match-1959-m1-garand-up-for-auction-2015-08-05_19-12-52-800x155.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jfks-1959-personal-m1-garand-to-be-auctioned-for-upwards-of-100000\" title=\"JFK\u2019s 1959 Personal M1 Garand to be Auctioned for Upwards of $100,000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40912\" title=\"JFK\u2019s 1959 Personal M1 Garand to be Auctioned for Upwards of 0,000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/outdoorhub-john-f.-kennedys-match-1959-m1-garand-up-for-auction-2015-08-05_19-12-52-800x155.jpg\" alt=\"Another side view.
