Our only goal is to give the necessary knowledge base to collectors for them to be able to find their way, nothing more.įirst of all, it should be known that the Garands manufactured during the Second World War were made by Springfield Armory and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company to refurbish modified Garands and thus have a coherent WW2 weapon. determine at the time of purchase if the Garand offered is an authentic WW2 Garand rifle, a reconditioned, a post-war and even a faked one.
lol.You will find on this page a guide to help collectors to : I was just using the IHC name as an example because I couldn't think of the others. Although, I really don't care because it was a Danish return so it has all kinds of PB parts and a Danish barrel on it. My Springfield Garand has a Winchester trigger housing. What somebody should set up is a site where folks can trade parts. If you're really interested in making a correct Garand, there are plenty of suppliers on the Internet that will sell you parts with specific drawing numbers. So, yes, field Garands were mostly mix-masters. Then the armorers would reassemble rifles from the parts in the bins. All of the rifles that were broken were stripped down to individual parts and the parts that were still serviceable were dumped into bins. Never heard about dumping the parts in a trash can, but I did read a very interesting account in the GCA Journal about how Garands in the field were repaired. Sorry, don't mean to be a pedant, but there were no IHC Garands in WWII, IHC didn't start making Garands until 1952.
We be a cool project to buy like 100 Garands and match them up as best as possible hahaha. So alot of the rifles were miss matched before the men event went to war. It could have been replaces with a part from any of the other company's.Īlso during boot camp when the soldiers were learning how to take apart and put there M1's back together the drill Sargent would tell the men to take there M1's apart and put all the parts in a Trash can, dump all the parts in a big pile and tell them to put there guns back together. Say for example if a guy in WWII had an M1 Garand made by International Harvester and a part breaks. On mine the receiver is Winchester and everything else is Springfield. Its hard to find an M1 that has all the same parts from the same company.
