How many M1's
Do we know approximately how many Garands were manufactured by the four US factories?

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.

Quantity
You can get a pretty good total from actual delivery numbers. They are well-known.

IIRC the owner of 6100499 was at the GCA
convention in Springfield Mass a few years back
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
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!
