Was the M-1 Garand Canadian or American I think it's Canadian-American?

Answer 1

It was made by John C. Garand, who was born in Canada and moved to the U.S. when he was 10 years old, who became an inventor in the U.S., and worked for Springfield Armory in the 20' and 30's, he invented the M1 Garand rifle in 1923.

As far as the M1 rifle itself is concerned, its All American, since it was "born" in the US. and manufactured and built in American factories. Where John Garand was born has nothing to do with what he did while he was an American citizen, that including the creation M1 rifle.

What an American Citizen does (or creates) while in the U.S. (regardless of where that individual as born) is legally and technically U.S. property. In this case, the M1 Garand rifle was made by an American citizen while living on U.S. soil and working in an American factory.....There is nothing "Canadian" about the M1 rifle itself. The only thing "Canadian" here, is where John Garand was born, which has nothing to do with the rifle itself.
