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.
