The M1 Garand: Serial numbers & data sheets

The manual was very useful in determining the manufacture and vintage of this iconic platform. Using the manual allows me to determine if one of these ladies come across my bench. Very detailed and informative. Nice job!

Nice for the Garand collector. Does not cover all serial numbers, but has enough to be helpful. Duff's other publications are more complete and should be added to your reference collection.

Handy and full of good info.

A nice reference book for the M1.

It’s very complete, sometimes hard to find what your looking for.

Doesn't include details for each month of manufacture. So if you have a serial# like mine, which puts it at 9/1943, you are out of luck; Duff only provided August and October . Also, at the back Duff states that the Stock Cartouche for GAW on Springfield stocks began in October 1943 when many others including Duff in other sources put the date at around the 1.8mil serial number which is closer to July 1943.

just what I was looking for

Love this guide, it's a great resource for the Garand owner.
