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.

What was the most issued us rifle in World War 1?
The Model 1917, usually called an "American Enfield". The standard rifle was the M1903 Springield, but production of these could not be increased enough to provide one for all men, as they were made only at government arsenals. When the war had started in 1914 the British were desperate for rifles for their forces, and had contracted with several American civilian firearms manufacturers to produce a few million of their standard Enfield rifles in .303 caliber. It took a long time for the factories to tool up for this and none were delivered before 1915. By that time the British had solved their production problems and no more were needed from America. When the US entered the war it was fairly simple to alter the design of the British Enfield to take the standard US .30-06 round, and more Americans fought with this rifle than with the Springfield. Sergeant York performed his Medal of Honor feats with an Enfield, despite Gary Coooper in the movie.
