The M1 Garand was the standard issue rifle of US forces during the Second World War. However, the issue of the M1 hadn't been fully implemented at the onset of the war, so many units (particularly in the Pacific) were still equipped with the M1903, and a number of the Iver Johnson rifles were also issued throughout the Armed Forces in order to supplement the Garand.
