The Box O Truth- Edu Zone62- Great Firearms- The M1 Garand

The M-1 Garand rifle was developed by John C, Garand in 1936 to replace the 1903 Springfield bolt action rifle. It was the first really successful semi-automatic battle rifle. Primarily due to large existing stocks of .30-06 ammunition that was produced for the 1903 Springfield, the M-1 was chambered in that caliber.
