US M1 Rifle – History and Pictures
The M1 rifle was introduced as the standard service rifle for the US Army in 1936 and served until its replacement by the M14 Rifle in 1957.
Designed by John Cantius Garand it is a semi-automatic rifle, holding 8 rounds of .30-06 ammunition in a spring steel clip (en-bloc clip). Capable of delivering accurate fire out to 400 meters (officially), and with a range of 3,600 meters. Loaded, and with its standard accessories (cleaning kit and sling etc) the rifle weighs 11 – 12 lbs.
Just over 4 million of these rifles were manufactured (this number does not include the Beretta, Breda and other foreign manufacturers).
