The M1 Garand, designed by Canadian John Garand, was the US military's first semi-automatic rifle, serving from 1936 to 1957. Over 5.5 million were produced, costing around $85 each during WWII. It's chambered in .30-06 with an 8-round clip, though originally designed for a 10-round .276 Pedersen. A common injury, 'Garand thumb,' occurs during loading.
