These "end of the month" delivery dates are approximate and are the result of the efforts of Scott Duff, noted M1 expert and author. Unfortunately the bookkeeping records of the Korean Era manufacturerswere 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. September 1,978,407 3,180,532 No Record

Winchester and Springfield M1s have an overlapping serial number range that runs from Winchester serial # 1,357,474 through serial # 1,387,xxx, giving approximately 30,000 duplicate numbers in this range.Duplicate numbers found within organizations were stamped with an "A" below the serial number of the duplicate rifle on the "horseshoe". Both Winchester and Springfield rifles have been observed either stamped or etched with an "A". Serial numbers from 1,601,000 through 1,640,xxx also lie within the Springfield Serial Number Range and constitute the so-called "Win-13s". Both the Win-13s and Springfields have rifles in the 1,601,150 to 1,640,xxx serial number range.
