    Here's an interesting freebie borrowed from Facebook



    Caption from Facebook:

    Winchester was contracted to produce the M1 Garand in 1940 with the first completed rifle rolling off the production line on January 10, 1941.

    By the time Winchester ceased M1 production in 1945, they had produced a total of 513,880 M1 Garand Rifles.
