The description of the process is quite interesting, aside from the rarity of the item itself.

“he Armed Forces went from something like 12 million men, mostly armed with M1 Garands”

Not quite correct. There were approximately 3.8 million M1 Garands produced by the end of WWII. Obviously not enough for every soldioer. The Garands were reserved for training and front line troops. The rest of them were armed with pistols, M1 carbines, machine guns, BARs, Thompson SMG, M3 machine guns and M1903 rifles, or, being non-combatants, no weapon at all.
