The M1 Garand or M1 rifle is a semi-automatic rifle that was the service rifle of the U.S. Army during
World War II and the Korean War. The rifle is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and is
named after its Canadian-American designer John Garand.
It was the first standard-issue autoloading rifle for the United States. By most accounts, the M1 rifle
performed well. General George S. Patton called it the greatest battle implement ever devised.

The M1 replaced the bolt-action M1903 Springfield as the U.S. service rifle in 1936 and saw service
into the late 1950s.

On June 15, 1951, the Ordnance Dept. granted a contract for 100,000 M1 rifles to the International
Harvester Co (IHC). The rifles were to be manufactured at the firm’s Evansville, Ind., plant with
deliveries scheduled to begin in December 1952.
