Do we know approximately how many Garands were manufactured by the four US factories?

Around 5.5 million
That's a really tough exact number to come up with as there was serial number over laps in production and block of numbers were not used.
Only thing I can add is mine is 5,9xx,xxx. I saw a 7,xxx,xxx at a gun show last week and the seller confirmed it was one of the commercial rifles made in the 80's.

IIRC the owner of 6100499 was at the GCA convention in Springfield Mass a few years back

There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
It was sent to Roger Miner as a DCM NM sale in 1958. He passed away and his daughter sold it to me in 2014. I recently passed it on to another collector in the GCA. What a beauty it is!

Wondering why you would part with such a unique garand? It would look good next to #1 at,SANHS
