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).
