No, it's a bit more complicated than that. It does, however, use the action from the Garand.
M1 Carbine Or M1 Garand
No. The M1 was replaced in 1957 by the M-14, though the Garand was in combat until the mid 1960's when it was officially retired from combat.
No, the M1 Garand bayonet will not fit the 03A3 Springfield rifle. The M1 Garand and 03A3 Springfield have different bayonet lug designs and dimensions, so their bayonets are not interchangeable.
The marines used many gun models throughout the war. However, the primary weapon of US forces was the M-1 Garand. The M1 Carbine and M14 were also frequently used rifles.
It was phased out of service fully in the mid-1970s, when the US government announced that the M16 was going to be adopted as a standard small arm (previously, it was intended to be used exclusively as a jungle rifle). The M16 effectively replaced the M14 rifle, M1 Garand rifle (in the case of some National Guard units which still fielded it in the 1970s), M1 carbine, and M3 submachinegun (in most roles).
AK-47, Mosin-Nagant, SKS, some Dragunovs, the M14 and the M1 Garand are a few
The M1 Garand wasa government issued rifleof the United States during WWII and into the 1950's and very early 1960's. It was followed by the M14.The M14 was then followed by the M16. Very strange, when I went through Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island they issued the M 14, however, when I went to Camp Geiger for Advance Infantry Training they issued the M1 Garand. When I finished the training I was assigned to the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune NC where I was once again issued the M14. All this ocurred in 1966.
Do a search for Winchester M1 carbine... that will answer your questions.AnswerThe question was about the M1 Garand 30-06, not the .30 carbine. No it was not manufactured, but toward the end of WW2 some M1 rifles were modified in the field with the Browning 20-round box magazine. The American M14 and Italian BM-59 rifles were copies of the Garand action with an external box magazine, scaled down to fire the .308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO). AnswerWinchester produced the M1 Garand during the WWII years only.
You can not, there are no conversion kits from an m14 model to an M1
The M14 was designed as the T44 experimental rifle, an evolutionary step above the M1 Garand used during World War II, in 1954. It entered production in 1959. Production was halted in 1964 when the M14 was replaced on the frontlines by the M16 assault rifle.
