M1 Garand - Resources and Information

[SD]

I’ve noticed a few of you guys are absolute experts on some of the mil surplus rifles.

Years ago, I bought an M1 (Springfield Nov/1943 - rebarreled) and would like to learn more about the rifle.

What books are you guys reading to learn all the various markings, history, and production changes etc..

I’m also interested in information regarding the 1911, 1903, Eddystone, and Krag Jorgensen.

It’s a good sign that yours still has the lock bar sight. What is the serial number and date on barrel?

YouTube has lots of videos on the M1.

I like the training films
