600,000 M1 Carbines. is that a typo? Why they have four times as many carbines as battle rifles?

At least they're not as deadly as those evil ARs. Do I really need a /s ? Garand clip "pling". If you don't know, you maybe never shot one. 👹🇺🇸

I’ll take the carbine please, The Garand is a great rifle but I have experienced one too many cases of M1 Thumb.

I never figured out why Garand didn’t just have the clip drop from the bottom like the old Mannlichers.

Oh, man; I’d like to get an M1 Garand. I’ve shot them, and they are wonderful platforms.
