NOTES:

- The numbers above indicate the approximate serial number manufactured by the end of that month. These figures were compiled through the efforts of extensive research by Scott A. Duff.

- Unfortunately the bookkeeping records of the Korean Era manufacturers were not as meticulously maintained, denying the M1 collector the ability to pinpoint the exact month of their Post W.W.II Garands. The 1950s production must be approximated by year, barrel dates, stock cartouches and experience.
