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

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

High M1 Garand Serial Numbers | An Official Journal Of The NRA

**fjruple** · 10-11-2023 10:23 AM

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.

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

IIRC the owner of 6100499 was at the GCA icon

convention in Springfield Mass a few years back

**Bob Seijas** · 10-16-2023 03:45 PM

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 icon

. What a beauty it is!
