Gentlemen, These two charts are to give you some idea of how Production. "NOTICE: on the first Chart" the printing showing ALL production The second shows the cost of the M1 Garand was setup. Yes, the charts on one page overran the printer on the old microfilm. Let's see if you guys find these of interest. I am PLAYING a .WAV GAME somewhere on one of my sites you will find a Speaker type HORN. That HORN is the .WAV file I use to open BOTH of my sites with. If you find it you can then make a copy of it on your system. Just right click and then save. Make sure you play the file once. It is clean. Have a little fun.   Some data has been posted before others have not. Warning, before you go to my sites lower your volume as the opening page contains a sound file which has a loading and firing of the M1 Garand. So if you're at work or home it may be wise to check your volume control. Email for larger copy [email protected] Gentlemen you know what to do. Push just a little more TIA. Gentlemen your doing a GREAT JOB.

WOW!!! At peak production only $26/per rifle! That's amazing, especially considering the ammount of labor that had to go into each one |
makes you wonder where the garand fits on the list of the most produced rifles of all time. My wild guess on it would have to be #3 behind the AK and the M16/variants |
Over 6.5 million U.S.G.I. M1 carbines produced. Beats the M1 rifle production by over 1 million. Not even close. |
Why are carbines going for more than the M1 if that is the case? Did we loan out more Carbines than Garands to other countries? |
I can only guess. Many of them were converted to M2 making them NFA weapons. I don't know how many were released to the public before 86 but you can bet that no more will be released. Also, a lot of them were sent overseas. Exact numbers, I don't know. I was in Korea in 85 and they were still using M1 and M2 carbines. We left a shit load in Vietnam as well. That hardly adds up to 6.5 million. I suppose that we have many M2 carbines wasting away in storage somewhere or many others that have been chewed up by Capt crunch. Of course, many M1 carbines were released to the public. Regardless, the production number is accurate. |
